He asked: “How did SEBI tolerate the huge rise in Adani Group shares after 2020 without investigation, when such a matter needs serious investigation?” He said recent revelations indicate that convicted stockbroker Ketan Parekh may have ties to the Adani group. A close relative of his has worked with ‘Elara Capital’, whose Indian fund has invested 99 per cent in Adani’s shares.”
