MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex fell on Wednesday to mark its second consecutive day of losses as investors locked in profits in blue chip shares such as ICICI Bank ahead of major risk events including U.S. jobs data and state elections results due later in the week.

Among blue chip shares, ICICI Bank provisionally fell 1.2 percent while Larsen and Toubro ended down 1.3 percent.

The Sensex provisionally fell 0.6 percent, while the Nifty ended lower 0.53 percent, marking their lowest close in nearly a week.
