SEBI Bars Arshad Warsi, Wife From Securities Market for Role in Pump and Dump Scheme

  • On May 30, 2025, SEBI imposed market restrictions on Bollywood star Arshad Warsi, his spouse Maria Goretti, and 57 additional individuals and entities due to their involvement in a scheme related to the promotion of Sadhana Broadcast Ltd shares through misleading videos.
  • The ban followed SEBI's probe, which uncovered a coordinated pump-and-dump scheme involving deceptive YouTube videos designed to artificially boost the share price of Sadhana Broadcast.
  • The manipulation scheme unfolded in two phases where connected entities traded to artificially raise the stock price while promoters sold off holdings at the peak.
  • SEBI fined Warsi and Goretti Rs 5 lakh each and ordered disgorgement of Rs 58.01 crore with 12% interest from multiple entities, naming Gaurav Gupta, Rakesh Kumar Gupta, and Manish Mishra as masterminds.
  • The enforcement action highlights SEBI's focus on market integrity and signals stricter scrutiny against false promotions and stock price manipulations.
