    In the broader market, Biocon plummeted 11 per cent, and Bandhan Bank plunged 8%.

    We caught up with Paras Bothra of Ashika Stock Broking to understand his views on the market.

    1) What triggered Friday's fall? Was it due to concerns over banking and financial results or global factors?
