The BSE index plunged over 600 points, when shares of the most valued firm RIL tanked 20 per cent due to a faux pas over ICICI Bank share quotation. Shares of RIL finally settled at Rs 1,011.55, down 3.21 per cent on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
According to marketmen, the freak sale happened after some trader off-loaded the company’s stocks at an unbelievable level of Rs 840.55 against yesterday’s close of Rs 1,045.05. According to marketmen, a trader sold about 62,000 shares of RIL at Rs 840.55 per share, while the sale order was meant for ICICI Bank. The transaction pulled RIL down to its 52-week low.
