Amar Ambani, Head of Research (India Private Clients), IIFL said "The late afternoon news about CBI raids on housing finance and real estate companies led to a major fall in stock prices of realty, banking and housing finance companies. An already uncertain stock market, grappling with an Ireland collapse globally and domestic issues of 2G scam, microfinance mess and other scams, pared morning gains and the Nifty fell from a high of 5,977 to close at 5,865.
