Market hits 7-month low as telecom probe widens

The key benchmark indices fell for the second straight day, tumbling to 7-month lows in choppy trade after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) widened its probe in 2G scam with the arrest of Shahid Balwa, managing director of DB Realty and vice chairman of Etisalat DB. Shares of Anil Dhirubhai Ambani group (ADAG) stocks took a heavy drubbing. ADAG said after trading hours that a series of baseless and motivated rumors were spread by rivals, which was accompanied by vicious and illegal bear hammering of the group shares. It said it had asked the Securities and Exchange Board of India and the stock exchanges to investigate.
