Taking the bull by its horns
Mumbai's finance community often comes together in ballrooms of five-star hotels and valorises the Indian investor. The financially influential community often speaks in words tinged with nationalistic pride about the continuous increase in registered investors. In 2024-2025, up to 2.09 crore Indians were registered as investors. This number was just 38.5 lakh in 2019-20, before the pandemic. That's a five-fold increase. The suit-clad mutual-fund managers and stock analysts say that this is a reflection of the average Indian's trust in the potential of the nation. Terms like 'financial inclusion' and 'economic democratisation' are often used. In July 2025, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which regulates the capital markets, alleged that Jane Street, an American trading firm, had manipulated the derivatives market, a segment of the financial market. Derivatives are a set of financial products that lock the prices of stocks or indices (groups of stocks such as Nifty 50), for a future date. SEBI halted Jane Street's operations until it paid ₹4,843.7 crore, the profit that the firm had allegedly made. Now, the matter is under investigation. India is the largest derivatives market in the world. In June this year, Reuters quoted the Futures Industry Association as saying that the country 'made up nearly 60% of global equity derivative trading volumes of 7.3 billion in April'. It also said that at least six global trading giants 'are ratcheting up their presence' in India. In September 2024, SEBI brought out a report stating that the aggregate losses from 2022-2024 in the derivatives market were to the tune of ₹1.8 lakh crore. 'Despite consecutive years of losses, more than 75% of those who lost continued trading in F&Os (futures and options, a part of the derivatives market),' the report stated. While there are many reasons for this, analysts say that people look at F&Os for quick returns, since the contracts expire on a weekly or monthly basis, unlike stocks, which are long-term investments. Pump and dump Jane Street, which began operations in 2000 in New York, had a net trading revenue of $10.4 billion as of June 2025, as per Bloomberg, the business news network. Its website claims to have five offices and over 3,000 employees, trading in 45 countries (India is not listed). Nuvama Wealth Management was a company executing Jane Street's trade in India. It is now under the scanner of the Income Tax Department. In April 2024, SEBI carried out an analysis of 'the alleged unauthorised use of their (Jane Street) trading strategies in Indian options markets' and asked the National Stock Exchange to monitor it. Later that year, SEBI issued a circular announcing a series of policy steps to address problems in the derivatives market. These included overtrading in index options on expiry days (Thursdays). Options are financial contracts, a type of derivative. The buyer is simply purchasing the 'option' to buy an underlying asset at a fixed date at a certain price. 'Call options' expect prices to rise, and 'put options' expect prices to fall. SEBI alleged that Jane Street pumped up the price of Bank Nifty — which consists of stocks of 12 large banks — by buying them in the morning. Seeing this, other traders would also buy in, further pushing up the price. The company would simultaneously buy put options on the same stocks/index, which other traders were unaware of. Towards the end of the day, Jane Street would dump the stocks, profiting from the resultant fall. Complexity and drive The complexity of the derivatives market makes it difficult to navigate even for professional traders like Preeti K. Chhabra, founder of Surat-based Trade Delta, a trading firm. 'After having studied the entire subject thoroughly, and trading for nearly one and a half years, I realised that this is a game where nobody knows 100%,' says Chhabra, who started her derivatives trading firm in 2018-19 after almost two decades of working in stock brokerages. Ms. Chhabra began with a capital of ₹90 lakh and lost about half of it in the first few months, she says. Following the loss, she took a year's break to understand the instrument better before she got back to it. She is among the many traders in India who execute futures and options trades for their clients. Social media platforms and even messaging apps like Telegram are rife with futures and options courses for children. In fact, on the days when the Bank Nifty dipped, analysts online gave different reasons for this, not citing possible market manipulation, SEBI said, in its order. Financial influencers are major contributors to financial market education and investment. Street oversmart With a spurt in online trading apps, which charge low commissions, during COVID-19 in 2020, many, including the youth, began accessing financial markets. The entry of new investors at this time drove a bull rally that lasted about four years before the slump to current levels began in September 2024. Bodies like the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) say that increasing financial literacy and awareness is the reason behind the proliferation. The awareness of financial instruments, however, does not translate into an understanding of markets. In its 2024 report, SEBI said that 43% of the people who had lost money were below the age of 30, and 93% of the people in this age group lost money trading in derivatives. Akshay Chinchalkar is the head of research at Axis Securities and actively writes on the professional-networking platform LinkedIn about market trends. He feels that there is too much information out there, which makes it difficult to separate the knowledge from the noise. 'It makes us ponder whether the sheer volume of analysis directly leads to consistent, profitable F&O trading for everyone,' he says. The Association of National Exchanges Members of India said in early August that it's studying ways of helping people move away from derivative trading. One of the suggestions they made was to increase the barriers to entry, so that uninformed or undercapitalised traders don't lose on a gamble. Markets like South Korea and Singapore have such barriers, the association said at a media briefing. SEBI has taken certain measures to control the enthusiasm, like doing away with weekly expiries of derivative contracts for all indices except the main Nifty 50 and the 30-stock Sensex, expecting that this would reduce speculatory trading. This means that contracts need to be held for longer periods in all other indices. However, a SEBI study showed that 91% of individual traders continued to lose money even after reforms. This was down from 93% before the Jane Street episode.

Doc & staffer attacked by patient's attendants at Lady Hardinge hosp
New Delhi: A doctor and an X-ray technician were allegedly assaulted by the attendants of a patient inside the emergency ward of Lady Hardinge Medical College's Sucheta Kriplani Hospital in central Delhi on Wednesday. Nobody has been arrested yet. According to a complaint filed by the hospital's additional medical superintendent, around 1.10am on Aug 13, a 40-year-old woman was brought to the emergency ward with injuries from an alleged fall from a moving train. It added that she was first examined by emergency medical staff, underwent a CT scan and an ultrasound, and was referred to the surgery department. The FIR states that during the treatment, the woman's condition deteriorated and she collapsed. At this point, her attendants, which, according to the complaint, included transgender people, allegedly became aggressive, claiming that doctors were not attending to her properly. They then attacked hospital staff, injuring a 26-year-old postgraduate doctor from the surgery department and a 30-year-old X-ray technician. Both sustained facial and upper body injuries.

NFL faces ‘Chiefs privilege' backlash over Rashee Rice delay
(Image via Getty) The NFL says it plays by the book when it comes to disciplining players, but the Rashee Rice situation is starting to look like a plot twist from a sports soap opera. While other players get their suspensions handed down before the season even kicks off, Rice, fresh off pleading guilty to two felonies in a street-racing crash, gets to keep suiting up for the Kansas City Chiefs through a juicy stretch of high-profile games. The official hearing? Not until September 30. And if you think that timing's just a coincidence, you're not alone. NFL delays disciplinary hearing for Rashee Rice until after big games — AdamSchefter (@AdamSchefter) On July 17, Rice pleaded guilty to two felonies from a dangerous March 2024 street-racing crash that left multiple people injured. His punishment was 30 days in jail (which can be served anytime in the next five years) plus five years of probation. Normally, the NFL wastes no time deciding a suspension once the legal side wraps. This time, however, the league scheduled his disciplinary hearing for September 30, which means he's clear to play at least the first four games of the season, maybe even five if appeals drag it out. League's timing raises eyebrows over potential favoritism It's not just the delay that's weird, it's what that delay allows. The Chiefs' early schedule is stacked with prime-time and nationally televised games: Week 1 against the Chargers in Brazil (YouTube), Week 2 vs. the Eagles on Fox, Week 3 on Sunday Night Football vs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo the Giants, Week 4 against the Ravens on CBS, and possibly a Week 5 Monday Night Football matchup at Jacksonville. Compare that with Vikings WR Jordan Addison, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor DUI on the exact same day as Rice and still got slapped with a three-game suspension before Week 1. That's a sharp contrast fans can't ignore. Why the delay? NFL's official reasoning vs. public perception The league's usual explanation is that they wait until all legal matters are closed before issuing punishment. But Rice's guilty plea technically checked that box in July. Critics argue the NFL could have suspended him before the season or at least put him on paid leave, crediting those missed games toward his suspension, an option they've used before, especially in domestic violence cases. Instead, the hearing date buys Rice playing time during the Chiefs' most marketable games, whether intentional or not. Social media has been buzzing with accusations of 'Chiefs privilege' and claims that the NFL is bending over backwards to keep one of Patrick Mahomes ' top targets on the field for TV ratings. For a league already battling skepticism about its disciplinary consistency, this isn't a great look. Even if the NFL didn't intend to favor the Chiefs, the look of it is undeniably bad. Letting Rice's case linger until after a blockbuster stretch of games undermines the league's own claim to consistency.
