20% Shares of Zee Entertainment slipped 20 per cent in trade on Tuesday, a day after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoned Essel group promoter Subhash Chandra as part of its probe into YES Bank. Chandra is scheduled to meet ED officials on Wednesday, which was confirmed by Essel group on Monday.
Zee on Tuesday said it had no borrowings from YES Bank at all. “As communicated by Essel group, the credit facilities availed were for its infrastructure business and are fully secured,” Zee said.
