SEBI takes action against market manipulators
SEBI is getting tougher on stock market scams, especially pump-and-dump schemes where prices are hyped up and then shares are sold off, leaving regular investors to take the hit.
In June 2025, SEBI's raids uncovered solid evidence of these shady tactics that have been hurting everyday people trying to invest.

Big names like Sadhna Broadcast Ltd. (now Crystal Business System Ltd.) were caught running these schemes—using flashy promo videos to trick investors.
SEBI has now banned key players like Sanjiv Bhasin from trading and ordered them to give back their illegal profits.
In one case, SEBI found a two-step plan: first, secretly boosting stock prices, then launching aggressive marketing aimed at retail investors.
The regulator says it's sticking with a zero-tolerance approach to protect people from this kind of fraud.
