Financial Technologies (India) is locked at the lower circuit for the second day in a row, down 5% at Rs 263 on the BSE, after Jignesh Shah, the chairman and managing director of the company was arrested on Wednesday in connection with the Rs 5,600-crore payment fraud at National Spot Exchange Ltd (NSEL).
