Lokpal, the anti-corruption body, examined and dismissed allegations of impropriety and conflict of interest against former SEBI chief Madhabi Puri Buch. These allegations were linked to claims made in a report by Hindenburg Research. After thorough scrutiny, Lokpal concluded that the accusations were based on mere assumptions without any verifiable evidence. As an independent ombudsman established to tackle corruption at high levels, Lokpal's decision to clear the former SEBI chief reinforces its role in ensuring that only substantiated and credible claims are pursued in anti-corruption investigations.
