Dr. Aniruddha Malpani, a prominent medical professional and social commentator, posted a tweet on X that has reignited discussions about the legal troubles of indian billionaire gautam adani and the role of the indian government in shielding him from international scrutiny. The tweet includes images of an official document from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), dated august 11, 2025, addressed to the united states District court in Brooklyn, New York.
This document details the SEC’s ongoing efforts to serve summons and a complaint on gautam adani and his nephew Sagar adani, who are accused of violating federal securities laws through a bribery scheme involving adani Green Energy Ltd. Malpani’s accompanying text, “Adani is on the run from the US judiciary, and Modiji is happy to shelter him! This was sent to the indian Government in april, but they have still not been able to serve it on Adani. No wonder no one trusts Indians,” suggests a cover-up by the indian government under prime minister Narendra Modi.
The SEC document reveals that the agency filed its complaint on november 20, 2024, alleging that the Adanis made false and misleading representations to U.S. investors during a $175 million fundraising effort, linked to a bribery scheme to secure favorable solar energy contracts in India.
Despite multiple attempts, including collaboration with indian authorities under the Hague service Convention, the SEC has been unable to serve the defendants, with the latest updates indicating efforts on april 23, 2025, and june 27, 2025. Malpani’s tweet highlights the delay, framing it as evidence of governmental protection, a sentiment echoed in the document’s note that the indian Ministry of Law and Justice has not yet effected service. This has fueled accusations of political favoritism, with Malpani implying that India’s failure to cooperate undermines its international credibility.
The tweet has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with some users supporting Malpani’s critique and others defending adani and the government. Critics argue that the delay could be due to procedural complexities under international law rather than deliberate obstruction, while supporters of the narrative point to a pattern of leniency towards adani, referencing past controversies like the Hindenburg report.
