Satyam dropped 41 per cent, taking its losses to 87 per cent since Chairman B Ramalinga Raju quit on Wednesday saying he inflated earnings and assets by $1 billion.
Larsen & Toubro, which owns a 3.95 per cent stake in Satyam, dropped 7 per cent, the most in almost three months. The Sensex fell 1.9 per cent or 180.41 points to 9,406.47. The S&P CNX Nifty Index on the NSE slid 1.6 per cent to 2,873.
