(Reuters) - Indian shares fell for a second consecutive session on Wednesday, reflecting the cautious sentiment in global markets after an influential U.S. Federal Reserve official said interest rates could rise as soon as September.

The benchmark BSE Sensex fell 0.21 percent to 28,005.37, after rising as much as 0.39 percent earlier in the session.

The broader NSE Nifty was down 0.21 percent at 8,624.05.
