A user on X (formerly Twitter), under the handle @StocksResearch, claimed that these stocks may be connected to a market operator named Hari Shankar Tibrewal, and linked the sharp price movement to alleged Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids. The post further alleged that Tibrewal has or had exposure to several small-cap companies, including Gensol, Balu Forge, and Servotech.
