"With a booming stock market, all the malpractices of Harshad Mehta/Ketan Parekh era are back primarily in Kolkata. Promoters are inflating profits (through profit entry) and in nexus with Gujarati-Marwari brokers driving their stock prices to unrealistic levels. It's time for @SEBI_India @FinMinIndia to step in and investigate before small investors suffer severe losses," wrote Harsh Goenka in his post.

Take a look at the tweet here:

An individual wrote, "Mostly the major Steel houses. One of them saw their shares zoom close to 30x in the last year to 1000+ levels."

A second added, "Yes please. We have to be able to be more realistic and responsible. It's not a fair game, but who needs another debacle, and honestly, why? There is plenty of money to be made always by those who know how to play!" (Also Read: Harsh Goenka shares doctor's 3 secrets to lead a long and healthy life. Here's what he said)

"Seems like a pretty serious allegation, @hvgoenka - though community profiling could have been avoided! In a market of 9000 plus listed stocks, if a few smaller firms indulged themselves, there was scarcely a need for alarm bells," commented a third.

A fourth shared, "The market survives because of two kinds of people. People who think the Market is at the right price and people who think there is a crash coming. This balance keeps the equilibrium."
