Harshad Shantilal Mehta was an Indian stockbroker notorious for his involvement in a massive securities fraud in India in 1992, which made him infamous as a market manipulator. Although some financial experts argue that he merely exploited system loopholes rather than committing fraud, he faced 27 criminal charges, being convicted on only four. Mehta's actions led to a financial scandal amounting to ₹100 billion (approximately $1.7 billion), exposing gaps in the Indian banking system. He was involved in the securities manipulation scheme until his sudden death from a heart attack in 2001 at the age of 47.
