FTIL shares slump nearly 10% after Jignesh Shah's arrest

Shares of Financial Technologies (India) plunged nearly 10 per cent after the Enforcement Directorate arrested its founder Jignesh Shah in connection with the Rs 5,600-crore National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL) money laundering scam.
After a weak opening, the stock further slumped 8.45 per cent to Rs 83.40 on BSE.
At NSE, shares of the company tumbled 9.63 per cent to Rs 82.55.
Officials said Shah was arrested yesterday under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) as "he was not cooperating in the investigation".
Reacting to the development, FTIL said in a statement, "We fail to understand why such a coercive step was taken against by the ED when Shah has been fully cooperating with the investigation.
