Jyoti Mehta, the widow of the stock broker Harshad Mehta who died in prison in 1991, accuses the taxmen of harassing her family for three decades. She claims he died of medical negligence and won more than 1,200 cases against the I-T Department and the Custodian. Harshad Mehta's wife Jyoti has launched a website to defend her late husband against all allegations Harshad Shantilal Mehta (29 July 1954 – 31 December 2001) was an Indian stockbroker and convicted fraudster. Mehta's involvement in the 1992 Indian securities scam (about ₹30,000 crore (equivalent to ₹ 2.3 trillion or US$27 billion in 2023)) led him to gain infamy for market manipulation. Jyoti Mehta was the wife of Harshad Mehta, the notorious stockbroker who manipulated the Bombay Stock Exchange in 1992. She fought for her rights and won several cases after his death, but her current whereabouts are unknown.
