Discover the shocking truth behind recent allegations as Sebi investigates Zee Business guest experts for engaging in unlawful trading practices. Learn about the impact on investor trust and Sebi’s action plan in this revealing expose.
Allegations of Unlawful Trading
Recently, there’s been a significant development in the financial world involving some guest experts from Zee Business. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) took action against these individuals, alleging they engaged in unlawful trading practices. It’s quite a shocker because these are people we often see on TV, offering advice and insights on stock market investments.
According to the board, these experts made a hefty sum of ₹7.41 crore through their trades, which apparently weren’t above board. What’s even more concerning is that they allegedly had an agreement to share these profits among themselves. This means they were using their positions and influence to make money in a way that wasn’t fair or legal.

Impact on Investors’ Trust
Imagine the impact on ordinary investors who trust these experts for guidance. They might have followed their advice, unaware of the shady dealings going on behind the scenes. It’s truly disheartening to think that their hard-earned money could have been used in such a deceitful manner.
As a consequence of Sebi’s investigation, these experts have been asked to repay the unlawfully gained amount. Moreover, Sebi has put restrictions on them from participating in any securities-related activities until further notice. This is a serious blow to their credibility and reputation in the financial world.
Sebi’s Action Plan and Names Under Scrutiny
Sebi has also instructed Zee Media Corporation to preserve all records related to these experts and their shows. This indicates that the investigation is far from over, and there may be more revelations to come.
The list of individuals and entities involved reads like a who’s who of the financial sector. Names like Simi Bhaumik, Mudit Goyal, and others are now under scrutiny for their alleged involvement in these illicit activities.
This whole situation serves as a reminder to investors to always do their due diligence and not blindly trust anyone, no matter how reputable they may seem. It’s a stark reminder that the financial world can be a murky place, and we all need to be vigilant to protect our interests.
