Confirming certain media reports, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Friday stated that it had conducted search and seizure operations at multiple locations in June, 2025 in connection with a pump-and-dump scam involving certain stocks.

In a statement, the markets regulator said it had seized incriminating evidence during the raids and that an investigation is ongoing.

"Various news reports have appeared in media regarding Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) raids in the matter of pump and dump scam. It is hereby clarified that SEBI has conducted search and seizure operations at multiple locations in the month of June 2025 in connection with pump and dump in certain scrips and has seized incriminating evidence.

I lost ₹2 lakh in one such scam last year. These operators create WhatsApp groups, spread fake news and vanish after dumping shares. SEBI should also track social media influencers promoting such stocks.

While action is good, SEBI needs to be more proactive rather than reactive. Why do they wait till investors lose crores? Need better surveillance systems to detect such patterns early.

As an NRI investor, I'm glad to see India's markets regulator taking strong steps. This will improve confidence in Indian markets internationally. But enforcement needs to be consistent.

These scams mostly target middle-class investors who don't have proper financial knowledge. SEBI should run investor education programs along with these raids. Prevention is better than cure!

My uncle fell victim to one such group promising 200% returns. Now his retirement savings are gone. Hope SEBI makes an example out of these fraudsters. Strict jail terms needed!
