Delhi: The last few days have been volatile for the Indian Stock Market. Hindenburg Research (Hindenburg report) an American company published a report accusing Adani Group, one of the most prestigious conglomerates of India, of manipulation and fraud. Not only Gautam Adani and Adani Group suffered a setback, but the investors of the stock market had to bear the brunt of it. During this the billionaires of India paid a heavy price. Earlier this year, Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, appeared to be a bit pissed off at India’s rich.
