SEBI trips front runners

(Hat Tip: RJ)

A fantastic piece of work by SEBI where they caught front running by employees of the Sterling Group and Sharekhan.The order makes for fascinating reading.

As an aside,many of the stock market “veterans” made their fortunes front running institutional orders.They would be thanking their stars that SEBI was not this active then.
