The American short-selling firm Hindenburg continues to make allegations against SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Bach. She was challenged to prove no wrongdoing in dealings with consulting firms in which she had stakes. On the other hand, SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Bach was supported by real estate investment trusts (REITs) and alternative investment groups. The Indian Reets Association opined that Hindenburg’s allegations that ‘Sebi’s policy on REITS is meant to benefit a few people’ are baseless.
