We've all heard stories about the infamous stock market scams and seen many movies and series based on them. Some watch them for entertainment, some watch them for gaining more insight, and some like me watch them for research purposes. As a finance student and stock market enthusiast, I was very intrigued by knowing how a very common man like Harshad Mehta became the stock market king. As my research progressed, I also came across the details of the 2001 stock market scam.
