Mohanty, (Whole Time Member) has barred two promoters of NDTV, namely Mr Prannoy Roy and Mrs Radhika Roy (the Noticees) from the securities market for 2 years and directed them to disgorge illegal gains of more than Rs 16.97 crore for indulging in insider trading under Sections 11(1), 11(4) and 11B of the SEBI Act, 1992. These directions came after a probe was launched by SEBI to check various allegations of insider trading between September 2006 to June 2008.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The SEBI noted that both the noticees were in possession of unpublished sensitive information (PSI-6) with respect to proposed reorganisation of the company. The discussions around reorganisation of the company started around 7-09-2007, and was finally disclosed to the public on 16-04- 2008. During this time, SEBI noted Mr Roy was the chairman and whole-time director whereas, his spouse, Mrs Roy was the managing director. Both were privy to the sensitive information with respect to reorganisation of the company.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On 17-04-2008, the noticees sold their shares making a profit of more than 16.97 crores when the trading window for them was closed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SEBI found them to have contravened Regulation 3(i) and Regulation 4 of the PIT Regulations, 1992 read with Regulation 12 of the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015 and Section 12A(d) and (e) of the SEBI Act, 1992; and the NDTV\u2019s Code of Conduct and regulation 12(2) read with 12(1) of the PIT Regulations, 1992. NDTV&#8217;s code of conduct for prevention of insider trading prohibited them from trading at least till 24 hours after the information was disclosed to the stock exchanges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Noticees were directed to disgorge the amount of wrongful gain of \u20b916,97,38,335\/- as computed in the show cause notice, along with interest at the rate of 6% per annum from April 17, 2008, till the date of actual payment of disgorgement amount alongwith interest, within 45 days from the date of coming into force of this order.\u00a0 They were also restrained from accessing the securities market and further prohibited them from buying, selling or otherwise dealing in securities, directly or indirectly, or being associated with the securities market in any manner, whatsoever, for a period of 2 years.[In the matter of New Delhi Television Ltd.
