Aakash accuses EY of professional misconduct, advising rivals in conflict of interest
New Delhi, Jul 5 (PTI) Test preparatory firm Aakash Educational Services has sent a legal notice to consultancy firm EY, its partners and officials, accusing them of advising rivals in conflict of interest and professional misconduct, the company said on Saturday. Aakash Educational Services Ltd (AESL) has alleged that EY was deeply involved in its financial operations since 2021, including advising on the proposed merger with Think & Learn Private Ltd, which owns the Byju's brand. The test preparatory firm said EY has been involved in the structuring and conversion of debentures into equity and it has now come to light that the consultancy firm also acted as the "exclusive financial advisor and official result validators" to AESL's direct competitor, Allen Career Institute. "Aakash Educational Services has served a second legal notice through Senior Advocate CV Nagesh to multiple partners and officials of Ernst & Young LLP (EY), accusing the firm of conflict of duty and professional misconduct," AESL said in a statement. An email query sent to EY did not elicit any reply. "The legal notice highlights that despite AESL's repeated requests through emails dated April 12, May 6, and May 17, 2025, EY has failed to provide documents and communications related to key transactions, suggesting concealment of critical information," the statement said. AESL alleged that the refusal contradicts EY's substantial involvement in AESL's decision-making and execution of transactions, including the once-proposed merger with TLPL and matters related to the issuance and conversion of debentures. AESL, Head for Legal, Sanjay Garg said the company has already issued notice to Ajay Shah of EY and also impleaded him and other partners of EY in the pending oppression and mismanagement petition filed by the RP of TLPL, who is also from EY, to respond to the allegations therein. "AESL has now come to know EY acted as an exclusive financial advisor and official result validators to a competitor which is a matter of deep concern. AESL is examining the initiation of further civil and criminal proceedings against EY in this regard," Garg said. AESL has claimed that this simultaneous engagement with a competitor represents an unethical conflict of interest and has called for an investigation into EY's conduct. Byju's founders have also sued EY, citing an email from a whistleblower which shows the involvement of the consultancy firm with GLAS Trust. US-based GLAS Trust has filed an insolvency case against Byju's.

Market manipulation is not going to be tolerated: Sebi Chairman Pandey
Mumbai, Capital markets regulator Sebi chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Saturday made it clear that market manipulation is not going to be tolerated. Speaking with reporters a day after an interim order against New York-based hedge fund manager Jane Street, Pandey said surveillance has been increased both by the regulator and also at the exchange level. When asked if similar patterns have been seen with other foreign portfolio investors as well, Pandey said, "All what I can say that market manipulation is not going to be tolerated". Sebi on Friday barred US-based Jane Street Group from the securities markets and directed the group to disgorge unlawful gains of ₹ 4,843 crore for allegedly manipulating stock indices through positions taken in the derivatives segment. This could be the highest disgorgement amount ever directed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India . In its interim order, the regulator has debarred JSI Investments, JSI2 Investments Pvt Ltd, Jane Street Singapore Pte Ltd, and Jane Street Asia Trading entities collectively referred to as the Jane Street Group from trading until further notice, while continuing its investigation. Addressing an event organised by the Bombay Chartered Accountants Society here, the Sebi chief made it clear that transparency in disclosing related party transactions, managing conflicts of interest and presenting material developments in a timely manner are "non-negotiable responsibilities" for the CAs. "You have a critical responsibility to ensure that corporate governance is not reduced to a checklist," he advised the CAs. He also spoke in favour of not having too much of compliance. "We are also mindful that too much of information, too much of compliance adds to a big compliance burden which may not actually serve the interest that we really intend to serve," he said. 'We would also like to see wherever we have the possibility of doing better results with less compliance, less information, less onerous responsibility and less micromanagement on the part of regulator,' he said, adding that all the suggestions will be welcome.

Meet Sanjay Bhandari: Declared fugitive economic offender under FEOA, who fled to UK in 2016
A special Delhi court on Saturday, while hearing a plea by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), declared data-vars-page-type="story" data-vars-link-type="Manual" data-vars-anchor-text="UK-based arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari">UK-based arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari a fugitive economic offender under the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act, 2018. In their plea, the ED accused Sanjay Bhandari of money laundering and stated that he 'absconded' to the United Kingdom in 2016 following several investigative agencies began scrutinising his activities. After this, ED filed a criminal case of money laundering against Bhandari and others in February 2017. The Delhi Court ruling comes at a time when a UK court had turned down India's plea seeking his extradition. An observation in the UK high court's decision stated, 'Bhandari would be at real risk of extortion, torture or violence in Tihar jail, from other prisoners or prison officials." In 2016, Bhandari "absconded" to the United Kingdom via Nepal and an Interpol red notice was issued against him in October 2017. The ED and other government agencies sent two extradition requests against the fugitive businessman and it were certified by the then UK home secretary Priti Patel in June 2020. Bhandari was arrested by British authorities on 15 July 2020, but was released on bail pending extradition proceedings. In 2022, a Westminster court subsequently ordered his extradition to India. Bhandari then challenged this ruling in High Court, and on 28 February 2025, the UK high court discharged him in the extradition request. The court on 4 April even rejected India's plea for his extradition. According to the ED and the Income Tax department, Bhandari had undisclosed foreign income worth ₹ 655 crore, on which he evaded tax worth ₹ 196 crore, reported Hindustan Times. Also, Bhandari has been under CBI probe since 2019 on charges of corruption in a ₹ 2,985-crore deal to procure 75 PC-7 trainer aircraft from Swiss plane maker Pilatus Aircraft. Between 2009 and 2016, Bhandari allegedly deposited huge amounts of money in bank accounts of overseas shell companies and also invested in properties in the UAE and the UK. The CBI also charged him with allegedly laundering money for properties reportedly linked to former Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra in London. In this, NRI businessman C C Thampi was arrested by ED in January 2020.
