The co-founders of Infosys are exploring sale of their entire 12.75% stake in the company worth about Rs 28,000 crore. This stunning move is said to have been triggered by the promoters’ unhappiness over the manner in which the company has been run since their exit three years ago. Infosys co-founders, Narayana Murthy, Nandan Nilekani, Kris Gopalakrishnan, SD Shibulal and K Dinesh, hold neither executive nor non-executive roles in the company anymore. Still, their exit moves, coming at a time when the sector is facing business uncertainties, could act as an overhang on the stock price. |

The exit poll published as voting closed late Thursday projected May’s party could fall from 330 to 314 seats, short of an overall majority in the 650-seat House of Commons. |

The 5 farmers who were killed during clashes in Mandsaur died due to police firing, the state government said in a report sent to the home ministry. The report clears up the air over the firing as the state had initially claimed that police had not fired on the agitating farmers. It says police resorted to firing after the protesters turned violent. The farmers, who were demanding a loan waiver, had allegedly set 25 trucks ablaze and two police vans along the Mhow-Neemuch highway on Tuesday. |
