Investing via Zerodha or via the AMC’s own platform does not make a difference in terms of safety. You get the same units. AMC companies make returns out of management fees. They have no incentives to do bogus transactions. I don’t think there is any case where such a thing has happened since the inception of the mutual fund industry in India.
There are cases where fund manager/dealers working for AMCs front run for their own benefit. So the fund holders suffer due to an increased impact cost. A lot of these people have got caught. The loss to unit holder in this case is marginal See How Axis MF fraud case was executed | Mint
Your biggest risk is underperformance or the fund manager not generating enough alpha.
