MUMBAI (Reuters) - The BSE Sensex and Nifty fell more than 1 percent on Tuesday to head towards their biggest daily fall in nearly three weeks, tracking lower global shares amid an unrelenting slide in oil prices and political uncertainty in Greece.

ICICI Bank lost 1.7 percent, while Infosys fell 1.6 percent.

The BSE Sensex fell as much as 1.84 percent while the broader Nifty fell as much 1.77 percent, heading to their biggest fall since Dec. 16.
