ICICI files complaints for spreading rumours of a $1-billion US lawsuit

18 Jun 2010 Evaluate

ICICI Bank has filed complaints with the Economic Offences Wing and SEBI against various individuals for spreading rumours of a $1-billion US lawsuit against the bank, which triggered a 3.5% fall in the bank’s share price.

According to ICICI Bank officials, they have tracked down individual rumours and there is a suspicion that rumours were initiated by those who sought to gain from a fall in the bank’s share price.

One of the mails was forwarded by an individual to contacts in his googlegroups. The bank had obtained details of the individual and obtained his information from a website. The investor was detained by the police for questioning. Another chain of emails was traced to a vice-president of a broking firm, who again claimed that his information was based on comments made on a blog.

SEBI is expected to look into the trades to see if anyone has made substantial gains as a result of the rumours. The bank will also share with the regulator the details of the sources of rumour mongering. crackcrack
