SEBI Bars Broker and Related Entities for Alleged Cross-Segment Price Manipulation
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) barred stockbroker Prrsaar Sampada, its related entity Chaubara Eats, and four individuals from derivatives trading for alleged cross-segment price manipulation involving single-stock futures and options. SEBI froze Rs 28.12 crore in alleged wrongful gains linked to coordinated trading patterns flagged by the National Stock Exchange. The entities focused on thinly capitalized stocks, using synchronized trades to artificially influence prices. The ban restricts derivatives trading but allows cash segment participation after deposit of the frozen amount.
