Congress wonders if SEBI request for extension in Adani case an attempt to bury the ‘scam’

The Congress on Saturday expressed apprehension over the SEBI’s six-month extension request to probe the alleged stock market manipulation of Adani group shares, saying it hopes it was not an effort to bury the “scam”.

AICC general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the Securities and Exchange Board of India has asked for a six-month extension after the Supreme Court Committee ordered it to examine the stock market transactions of the Adani Group.

“Hope this request by SEBI is not an effort to bury the scam or drag it out in the hope that the furore will die down,” Ramesh said on Twitter.
