India’s top court ordered the country’s market regulator on Wednesday to conclude its investigation into the Adani Group within three months and said that no further probes are needed, a company spokesman told CNN. The ruling, which comes almost one year after the US short-seller Hindenburg Research accused the Indian conglomerate of “brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud scheme,” comes as a massive relief for Gautam Adani, one of Asia’s richest businessmen.
