Gautam Adani Reacts As Supreme Court Forms Panel To Probe Hindenburg Allegations: 'Truth Will Prevail'

The Supreme Court on Thursday formed a six-member committee to investigate the allegations made by U.S.-based short-seller Hindenburg Research against the Adani Group.

What Happened: The Apex court gave its orders on a batch of four petitions that sought an investigation into the matter. A bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala ordered the formation of the committee headed by retired judge Abhay Manohar Sapre.

Other committee members include veteran bankers KV Kamath and OP Bhat, Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani, Advocate Somasekharan Sundaran, and retired Justice JP Devdhar.
