Fund names under ED investigation:
1.Zenith Multi Trading DMCC
2.Dream Achiever Consultancy
3.Ecotek General Trading LLC
4.Brilliant Investment Consultants

These entities hold 1%+ in multiple listed small-caps—now under the microscope for possible stock price manipulation.
What’s the game?
• Entities pump funds into illiquid small-caps
• Prices spike on low float + heavy retail FOMO
• Book profits or offload via preferential allotments
• In some cases: layering hawala money into equity
Why does it matter?
• These stocks may be running on tainted flows
• Regulatory action (like freeze/bans) can come without warning
• You don’t want to be holding when the music stops

This isn’t about P/E. It’s about exit risk
