Stock experts making money from TV shows
Some stock experts featured on popular Indian business channel Z Business's shows, such as Kiran Kacamal, Hitman Himanshu, and Simee K non-stop shares, were found to engage in front running. They would provide insider stock recommendations to Nirmal Sony, who would pass the information to his network and stock-broken entities. This manipulation technique increased trading volumes and stock prices, allowing Nirmal's associates to sell the stock for profit. SEBI's interim order highlighted significant spikes in trading volumes, with a group of 10 individuals making a total of 7.4 crore rupees in 11 months.
