The back-to-back crackdowns by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) show how rampant insider trading is on D-street, while also highlighting the fact that several market participants— promoters, senior company officials, investment bankers and high profile investors — have access to price-sensitive information and use it to trade.
