TMCled Oppn MPs group seeks probe on resultday crash meet Sebi officials

A delegation of Opposition leaders, led by TMC MPs, on Tuesday met senior officials of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) and demanded an investigation into alleged “manipulation” of the stock market on the back of exit polls.

Most exit polls gave the ruling BJP a clean sweep in general elections. But the saffron party’s juggernaut stopped short of the half mark of 272. While the Opposition cherished the results, comments made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah caught their attention.

Before the exit poll results, both the leaders reportedly suggested buying stocks before June 4, when the final results were to be announced, claiming it will hit new highs.
