SEBI Bans Prannoy Roy And Radhika Roy From Management Posts In NDTV For Two Years; Prohibits Dealings In Securities
Prannoy Roy, co-chairperson of New Delhi Television Limited.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has issued an order which bars NDTV promoters Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy from any sort of dealing in the securities market for a two-year period, reports The News Minute.
Both of them are also prohibited from taking up any managerial or key position in NDTV during the said time frame, nor in any other listed firm for one year. Existing securities owned by the two will also remain frozen during the two-year period.
“In view of the observations and findings recorded..., it can be deduced that Noticee no. 2 (Prannoy Roy) and 3 (Radhika Roy) have failed to comply with all applicable laws and have also engaged in a conduct which is not honest and ethical and not free from fraud or deception, as required under the Code of Conduct of the NDTV,” the SEBI order states.
Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy came out with their own statement in response to the order and said that it was “outrageous, bad in law and against all procedures”. The two are planning to initiate a legal challenge against the order.
