and exchanges have started examining trade details of over two dozen stocks as
part of a probe into the alleged leak of key financial details of these
companies through WhatsApp while the regulator is also considering seeking call
data records of the persons involved.
The companies include several
listed blue-chip firms, officials said on the condition of anonymity.

its intelligence systems, they added.

seeking call data records (CDRs) of all the persons involved in alleged
circulation of key financial details and other information about listed
companies on social media groups before they are made public.
