The DHFL scam has caused massive financial losses for thousands of victims while benefiting select groups. Common citizens lost life savings, while influential business figures allegedly profited by acquiring assets cheaply by means of crony political connections. The healthcare sector and legal professionals gained from increased demand for services due to victims’ distress. Media outlets also capitalized on the scandal for coverage. The case raises concerns about systemic failures, lack of accountability, and the exploitation of financial crises for profit by powerful entities, calling for urgent reforms in regulatory oversight.
