Demand for registration of FIR and investigation in petitions
In the petition, Manohar Lal Sharma demanded an investigation and FIR against Hindenburg Research founder Nathan Anderson and his associates in India. Along with this, a ban on media coverage was also demanded on this matter.
Vishal Tiwari demanded an inquiry into the Hindenburg report by forming a committee headed by a retired SC judge. In his petition, Tiwari explained the condition of people when share prices fall.
Jaya Thakur has raised doubts over the role of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and State Bank of India (SBI) in this matter. He has demanded an inquiry into the role of LIC and SBI in investing huge amounts of public money in Adani Enterprises.
Mukesh Kumar in his petition has sought directions from SEBI, ED, Income Tax Department, and Directorate of Revenue Intelligence to investigate. Mukesh Kumar has filed this petition through his lawyers Rupesh Singh Bhadauria and Mahesh Praveer Sahay.
Hindenburg report harmed investors
The petitions claim that Hindenburg short-sold the shares, causing "huge losses to investors". It has also been said that the report has tarnished the image of the country. It is affecting the economy. Simultaneously, the media hype over the report affected the markets and Hindenburg founder Nathan Anderson also failed to provide proof of his claims to the Indian regulator SEBI.
