मार्च 2024 में एक शेयरहोल्डर ने शिकायत की, लेकिन LIC लगातार राजेश एक्सपोर्ट्स में पैसे लगाता रहा। ऐसा इसलिए हुआ, क्योंकि माधबी पुरी बुच ने 7 महीने तक उस शिकायत पर कुछ नहीं किया।
• 2015 में राजेश एक्सपोर्ट्स ने 400 मिलियन डॉलर का निवेश कर स्विटजरलैंड की एक गोल्ड रिफाइनरी खरीदी, लेकिन SEBI ने कोई स्क्रूटनी नहीं की
• राजेश एक्सपोर्ट्स ऐसी कंपनी है, जो गोल्ड ज्वेलरी और GEMS का काम करती है और उनका एनर्जी स्टोरेज सेक्टर से कोई लेना-देना नहीं है
• मगर 23 मार्च 2022 में मोदी सरकार की Ministry of Heavy Industries ने राजेश एक्सपोर्ट्स को 18,100 करोड़ रुपए का 5 GW मैन्यूफैक्चरिंग कैपेसिटी का काम दे दिया
• इस बिडिंग में राजेश एक्सपोर्ट्स के अलावा 7 ऐसे प्रतिद्वंदी थे, जो एनर्जी स्टोरेज सेक्टर से जुड़े थे, लेकिन उन्हें काम देने के बजाए राजेश एक्सपोर्ट्स को काम दे दिया गया
• साल 2020-21 और 2024-25 के बीच में राजेश एक्सपोर्ट्स ने कागजों पर 15.15 लाख करोड़ रुपए का काम दिखाया है, लेकिन कोई एजेंसी नहीं जागी

Rajesh Exports scam has sent a shock waves to investors, FIIs, foreign investors, financial regulators, banks, financial institutions and I suppose for govt too. My more shock is why stock market didn’t tumble down today even after interim order of SEBI @SEBI_India against Rajesh Exports for such a massive , massive scam. This scam is much bigger than Harshad Mehta scam of early 90s. Who are controlling market. Who is God father of Rajesh Mehta? I am not using the word Mr Rajesh Mehta purposely as I am in depression, anger and frustration.
I have got 20 valid questions which came to my mind and I kept on thinking whole day.
1. How did Rajesh Exports allegedly inflate revenues by 99.8% (rupees15.15 lakh crore) over FY21-FY25 without triggering red flags in annual audits or stock exchange filings?
2. What role did statutory auditors play in verifying transactions with overseas subsidiaries like Valcambi SA, especially when standalone filings showed negligible revenues?
3. Why did SEBI take until June 2026 to issue an interim order despite a shareholder complaint in March 2024 alleging financial misrepresentation?
4. During Madhabi Puri Buch’s tenure as SEBI Chairperson (2022-2025), what specific monitoring mechanisms for high-value exporters in the gems & jewellery sector failed to catch the scale of alleged misstatements?
5. How were consolidated financials accepted when group companies reportedly lacked supporting invoices, purchase records, or verifiable gold trade documentation?
6. What due diligence did the Canara Bank-led consortium perform before extending fresh or rollover loans, given earlier NPA classifications and disputed foreign exchange dealings?
7. Why did credit rating agencies continue assigning favorable ratings?
8. How much of the promoter’s personal benefit (e.g., rupees 339 crore allegedly routed to Rajesh Mehta’s accounts) came from public shareholder funds or bank borrowings?
9. What lapses occurred in disclosures of related-party transactions and subsidiary financials under LODR regulations?
10. Did institutional investors like LIC conduct independent forensic checks on the company’s gold mining/refining claims (including dubious African mine assertions) before increasing stakes?
11. How effective were internal controls and whistleblower mechanisms within Rajesh Exports, and were any alerts ignored by the board?
12. What systemic gaps in SEBI’s surveillance of export-heavy companies allowed fictitious overseas revenues to prop up market capitalization for years?
13. Were there violations in foreign exchange management (FEMA) or RBI guidelines on gold imports/exports that banks and regulators overlooked?
14. Why were retail investors and FIIs not protected earlier through circuit breakers, enhanced disclosures, or trading restrictions despite anomalous revenue growth?
15. What was the role of merchant bankers or intermediaries in past fund raises or bond issuances based on these inflated numbers?
16. How did the company’s claims of massive operational scale reconcile with physical gold supply chain realities tracked by customs and GST authorities?
17. Were there conflicts of interest or inadequate expertise in the audit committee and independent directors’ oversight?
18. What recovery prospects do banks and investors have now, and should there be a full forensic audit ordered by courts or CBI?
19. Does this case highlight broader weaknesses in India’s corporate governance framework for family-promoted multinationals in commodity sectors?
20. What policy reforms (e.g., mandatory subsidiary audits, real-time transaction reporting for exporters, or stricter promoter accountability) are needed to prevent similar scams in future?

A disturbing pattern keeps emerging.
First, SEBI alleges Rajesh Exports misrepresented ₹15.15 lakh crore of revenue while LIC sat on a ~11% stake.
The Washington Post reported earlier that a $3.9 billion LIC-backed rescue plan was allegedly crafted to shore up the Adani empire after U.S. fraud and bribery charges.
Different companies. Same bagholder: LIC.
When profits are privatized, public institutions cheer. When risks explode, the savings of millions of ordinary Indians are left exposed.
India deserves a LIC that protects policyholders—not politically connected corporate empires

Watch: The happenings and skeletons falling off the CBSE cupboard no longer surprise me. Here, a reporter at @careers360 buys CBSE class 12th Student data, possibly hacked and downloaded and being sold openly despite @MeitY_NICSI and @cbseindia29 data protection policy.
@AskDrShashank This 'generations of calorific scarcity due to famines'...did Europeans have more food, living in cold climes deprived of vegetation for much part of year, lesser rains, lesser sunshine must hv deprived them of calories for longer part of lives.

With Justice Sheel Nagu being among the five persons approved by the President as a judge of the SC, here’s a look at some of his most reported and significant rulings:
• Acquitted Gurmit Ram Rahim in the 2002 Journalist murder case.
• Held that a wife’s refusal of physical intimacy or failing to show adequate respect toward the husband’s family could amount to mental cruelty sufficient to justify dissolution of marriage.
• Heard matters connected to AAP leaders and individuals who later shifted allegiance to the BJP including Sandeep Pathak, Rajinder Gupta, and Trident Limited’s challenge to Punjab Pollution Control Board action.
He was also part of the committee that investigated allegations against Justice Yashwant Varma after burnt currency notes were discovered at his official residence during a firefighting operation.

Dr. Romila Thapar was interviewed at her home in New Delhi on February 24, 2026 by Omar Khan and Dr. Sudeshna Guha, with Yousuf Saeed. Dr. Thapar was born in 1931 and is one of India's most distinguished historians, author of numerous books on early Indian history, and winner of the US Library of Congress Kluge Prize for lifetime achievement. This exclusive interview covers her early life in what was then British India, her work, visits to ancient Indus sites and historiography.
Omar: Where were you born and where did you grow up, and tell me a little bit about what your parents did?
Romila: That’s a lot of questions! Yes, alright, I was born in Lucknow in 1931. I grew up in what was then called, in the 1930s and early 1940s before Partition, the Northwest Frontier Province in the northwest of the subcontinent. My father, being a doctor in the army, tended to be posted from place to place every two or three years. So, we moved around from the frontier forts to Peshawar to Rawalpindi before he was transferred to Pune in 1942. Then there was a long stretch in Pune, which was very nice for me because otherwise it meant getting up and hopping around all the time. So that’s where I grew up.
My father, as I said, was a doctor in the army. From what I’m told, his first posting was in Lahore, which was of course the family place, as it were. My grandfather, who was a schoolteacher, Kunj Bihari Thapar, moved from Ludhiana, where he first had a job as a schoolteacher, to Lahore. That was the first move toward what was really the hub of culture and education, whatever was going on in the northwest. [Lahore] was sometimes referred to as the Calcutta of the Northwest because Calcutta was the hub in Bengal and eastern India. So, it was very much a major attraction for anybody.
He thought that school teaching would be great fun in Lahore, so he moved there with his wife, who was universally known as Manji. They had ten children, of which six survived. Two died fairly young, and two daughters died after bearing a few children. The other six had their own little families.

A revealing chat with my fellow “anti-national Soros agents.”
Vedant and his friends are brilliant, brave young Indians who asked CBSE and the Modi government simple questions - but got insults instead of answers.
They deserve a bright and secure future. We will make sure they get it.
श्रीमती 108 अंजना ओम कश्यप जी। ये 2 कौड़ी का आदमी करोड़ों में टैक्स भरता है। आईआईटी से पास है। गोल्ड मेडलिस्ट है।
मेरी आपसे कोई लड़ाई नहीं है। लेकिन आपलोग कुंठित हो गई हैं। जमीर मर गया है। असली मुद्दे पर आप बात नहीं करती। जनता ने आपको सुनना छोड़ दिया है। इसलिए आपको TRP नहीं आ रही। आपलोगों की सैलरी पर संकट पैदा हो गया है।
और इस तरह से अंकित अवस्थी @kaankit सर ने @anjanaomkashyap को धोकर रख दिया।
अंकित सर आगे कहते हैं कि पत्रकार ने सच बोलना छोड़ दिया है। इसलिए टीचर्स सच बता रहे हैं। लोग उन्हें सुन रहे हैं। विज्ञापन टीचरों को मिल रहा है। आपके कुंठा के पीछे यही वजह है।
To gauge Hindutva's stake in the Indus Valley Civilisation, one should keep in mind that Vasant Shinde—leader of the Rakhigarhi excavations—once published a paper on a bunch of PATENTLY FAKE IVC "copper plates" in a journal he himself founded and edited. 😂 (1/n)
यूपी के प्रयागराज में आप राज्यसभा सांसद @SanjayAzadSln पेपर लीक पर एक बंद कॉन्फ्रेंस रूम में छात्रों के साथ कर रहें थे चर्चा
यूपी पुलिस ने आकर हो रही इस चर्चा को रोका और कहा इस चर्चा की इजाज़त नहीं ली गई है
सांसद संजय सिंह ने कहा परमिशन सार्वजनिक जगह के लिए चाहिए, कॉन्फ्रेंस हॉल में कौन सा परमिशन चाहिए
WHAT IS THIS CBSE?????? YOU HAVE GIVEN ME 7 IN CHEMISTRY THEORY WHILE I AM GETTING 55 ACCORDING TO THE MARKING SCHEME
@cbseindia29@dpradhanbjp
it's the system's incompetence that so many students like me are unable to match the eligibility criteria for admissions into colleges
Anjana called us '2 Kaudi ke Teachers', These sold Journalists are 'Phuti kaudi ke Patrkaar'
They are the bootlickers of the Govt, who never take any responsibility be it Petrol hike,Paper leak,CBSE fiasco
& when people raise their voice,they go on to call everyone cockroaches'
शिक्षकों के सम्मान में बबीता मैडम भी आ गई मैदान में..
उन्होंने जबरदस्त ढंग से अंजना को रेलते हुए कहा कि अगर अंजना टीचरों को कह रही है कि टीचर दो कौड़ी की है तो अंजना खुद फूटी कौड़ी की ठहरी..!
be @ni5arga
→ 19 years old, from West Bengal, studied in Delhi for a few years
→ just finished his own Class 12 exams in 2026
→ calls himself a hobbyist cybersecurity researcher
→ says he is an engineer, not a hacker
→ built an OSINT engine, a stock-tracking TUI, a pastebin in Rust
→ once found bugs in FOSS United and disclosed them quietly
→ just another CBSE student watching his own board roll out a new digital marking system
then he opened the portal
→ CBSE moves Class 12 evaluation to On-Screen Marking, 1.8 million students affected
→ Nisarga sees the portal link is fully public, gets curious
→ opens DevTools, downloads the Angular JavaScript bundle
→ first vulnerability found in 30 minutes
→ a literal master password sitting in plain text inside the frontend code
→ enter it, the OTP field auto-fills, the entire login flow gets bypassed
→ OTP validation happens in the user's browser, not on the server
→ no route guards, every internal page reachable by editing browser storage
→ password reset API never checks the old password
→ systemic IDOR across the entire API, change one value in sessionStorage, become any examiner
→ outcome: take over any teacher account, view answer sheets, edit marks
25 February 2026. He reports everything to CERT-In the same day.
→ CERT-In asks for a screen recording, he sends a full walkthrough
→ acknowledgement comes back as a boilerplate reply
→ reference number assigned: CERTIn-16590126
→ he follows up multiple times. no response.
→ three months pass. portal still live. Class 12 results released. vulnerabilities still there.
→ 22 May: publishes the blog post and a thread on X
→ Deedy Das, Satish Acharya, Internet Freedom Foundation amplify it
→ the post goes viral
→ CBSE issues a clarification: that was just a test portal, no breach
→ the URL CBSE cited in their own tweet was not even a registered domain
→ a friend buys the domain and points it at Nisarga's blog
→ CBSE quietly deletes the tweet
then it gets worse
→ 25 May: finds an SQL injection vulnerability on the live production portal
→ reports to CERT-In, gets a one-line thank you
→ gains admin access to the live https://t.co/1WpmNGsczK server
→ portal stays up for four more hours
→ he uploads anime videos and memes, links them publicly from CBSE servers
→ plays a viral Japanese song on a CBSE page, makes the news for it
→ CBSE finally takes the whole portal down
then he reads the database
→ master table accessed: 10 GB, 9.3 million records
→ examiner names, addresses, school names, bank account details
→ passwords stored in plain text
→ login tokens anyone can paste into a browser to log in as that user
→ 31 May: finds a second live CBSE production portal, 45,074 records of failed payments
→ emails, phone numbers, payment IDs, order IDs, all readable
→ 31 May, the bigger one: an AWS S3 bucket is misconfigured
→ ListObjectsV2 works without authentication, the bucket root is listable
→ samples pulled from 18 lakh scanned 2026 answer sheets, every subject
→ multiple institutions sharing the same bucket
→ also notices something strange in the scans: bedsheets visible in the background of answer sheets CBSE paid for proper scanners to handle
CBSE responds
→ posts an AI-generated image saying the system is robust and secure
→ three days later admits some vulnerabilities existed and have been contained
→ refuses to name the cybersecurity firm doing the audit
→ claims they tried contacting him. he says they have not.
→ Internet Freedom Foundation writes to the Ministry of Education and CERT-In
→ asks for an investigation into CBSE, a review of the contract with vendor Coempt EduTeck, a full audit
→ he points out he could have sold this data and made a lot of money
→ he did not. he is a CBSE student too.
→ his own analogy: the door wasn't just unlocked. the key was lying on the ground in front of everyone.
a 19-year-old with a anima pff broke a national exam evaluation system in 30 minutes with browser developer tools and the government is still pretending it was a test environment
