New Delhi: Shares of Gitanjali Gems today plunged up to 19 percent in morning trade after the company came under scanner of various investigating agencies following the Punjab National Bank’s declaration of nearly Rs 11,400-crore fraud.
The stock today opened on a bearish note at Rs 48, then lost further ground to touch a low of Rs 47.50, down 18.94 percent over its previous closing price.
Similar movement was seen on the NSE as well, where the stock tanked 18.73 percent to a low of Rs 47.50.

“Four big jewellers – Gitanjali, Ginni, Nakshatra and Nirav Modi – are under scanner. The CBI and Enforcement Directorate is looking at their arrangements with various banks and end use of money,” a senior official said yesterday.
