Barring one stock, six others which came under heavy selling on Monday following the alleged unearthing of a “stock market scam” by the Intelligence Bureau (traced to Ketan Parekh and his associates), pulled back from the lows they hit yesterday.

The recovery was accompanied by huge volume within minutes of trading today, indicating that the day traders were making the best of both

negative and positive developments after some of the companies named in the report denied any knowledge of manipulation.

shares on the NSE within 15 minutes of trading.

Goenka Diamond and Jewels Ltd sizzled, up by Rs 6.55 or 4.07 per cent to Rs 167.45, but with a relatively muted volume of 89,867 shares.

However, the scrips of Orchid Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri, Pantaloon and GMR Infrastructure Ltd witnessed a relatively subdued recovery.
