Jane Street Appeals SEBI Market Manipulation Allegations, Seeks Trading Data Access
US-based hedge fund Jane Street is appealing against Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) allegations of manipulating the Bank Nifty index to benefit its options trading. Jane Street argues that earlier SEBI and National Stock Exchange (NSE) surveillance reports found no evidence of manipulation during overlapping periods. The firm seeks access to SEBI's trading data and correspondence to challenge the regulator's July 2025 order, which included the seizure of alleged ill-gotten gains. Jane Street maintains that index movements often contradicted SEBI's claims and questions the basis for renewed investigation.
