ABSTRACT
The article details various controversies surrounding Ajay Piramal, including allegations of insider trading, environmental violations, involvement in the Flashnet scam, and seeking legal protections in contentious situations. It suggests that Piramal’s business activities are frequently shielded by political connections, particularly with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The piece argues that these connections have allowed him to navigate legal and regulatory challenges effectively(especially in the #DHFL_Scam) , often escaping significant repercussions.

In Continuation with WHO IS AJAY PIRAMAL? VIEW HERE ⤡
As far as we know, while talking about Mr. Ajay Piramal’s previous (mis-)deeds, we have come to note the following points stretched across the past decade or so:
1. Mr. Piramal is an alleged insider trader (2016)
2. He is an environmental terrorist (for polluting Digwal, Telangana in 2019) and also who sought “blanket stay order” at the National Green Tribunal, which was rejected. In the case of the DHFL also, he wanted such a similar stay order on the “controversial” NCLAT second verdict (27/01/2022).
3. He was involved in Flashnet Scam, 2018 (though Mr. Piramal was ready to defame The Wire, who first exposed the scam, for reporting the same, but till date: no such step has been taken by him)
4. He is possibly involved in contempt of court during the DHFL resolution process by ignoring NCLT’s first verdict (19/05/2021) and skipping the points raised by the NCLAT second order (27/01/2022).
Seeing his condition, encircled with controversies, disputes and obstacles, we wrote a sarcastic (as intended under plutocratic regime) letter to Mr. Piramal:
It was not long when Piramal Group 2,000 crore loan to the Omkar developers was probed by the ED:

However, as always, Mr. Piramal managed to get speedy justice for himself in this case as well:

Despite all these “shortcomings” and “setbacks” in his business career, Piramal never fails to utilize an opportunity to show his affection for the Bharatiya Janata Party, the current (for how long?) ruling party of India.
With the exposé of the Electoral Bonds, we have also come to note the following about Mr. Ajay Piramal:

Given this “ring of fire” of controversies that encircle Mr. Ajay Piramal’s business-world at this juncture, we can very well conjecture that without the massive amount of political support he is receiving from the BJP, he would have possibly been reduced to a mere “nobody”.
Our Mr. Ajay Piramal appears to be “Pound Wise but Penny Foolish”!!!
