Following claims by US short-seller Hindenburg Research against SEBI chairperson Madhabi Buch, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has demanded a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) investigation into what he calls a "massive scandal."

Kharge expressed concern that unless a JPC probe is undertaken, there will be continuous concerns that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will continue to "shield his ally," thereby compromising India's constitutional institutions that have been diligently created over the last seven decades, reported PTI.
