SEBI Bars Entities for Alleged Cross-Segment Price Manipulation in Stock Derivatives
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) barred stockbroker Prrsaar Sampada, related entity Chaubara Eats, and four individuals for alleged cross-segment price manipulation involving stock futures and options. SEBI ordered the impounding of Rs 28.12 crore in alleged wrongful gains. The manipulation focused on smaller-cap stocks, with the entities reportedly incurring losses in futures to influence option prices. After intervention by the National Stock Exchange, trading shifted from Prrsaar to Chaubara. Investigations are ongoing.
