They started to march towards the ED office, however were confronted by police at Board Square. The heavy police force did not allow the Congress workers to move ahead and opened water canons to disperse them.

Notably, a few days ago, a US-based investment research firm, Hindenburg Research, released a report in which it claimed that SEBI chairman Madhabi Puri Buch and her husband own stakes in offshore companies linked to the Adani Group. The report also alleged the ‘lack of interest and action’ by SEBI after its previous report revealed undisclosed investment and transactions of billions of dollars via mainly Mauritius-based shell entities of the Adani Group.
Raising the issue, the opposition Congress has called a nationwide agitation, demanding action against the SEBI chief.
