Indian indices Markets had yet another disastrous week as uncertainities made investors chose the exit door.

Indian equity markets ended on an extremely sour note this week as investors chose the exit door on mounting uncertainties. Domestic indices continued the downfall for the second straight week as concerns of political instability over the 2G scandal added to the already jittery investor sentiments with the barometer index BSE Sensex hitting 5-month low and Nifty skidding to the 6-month low level. Former telecom minister A Raja alongwith his former private secretary R K Chandolia and former Telecom Secretary Siddharth Behura, was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday, February 02, 2011, for his role in the 2G scam. Rising crude price amid Egypt unrest also added to concerns. Food inflation rose to 17.05% for the week ended January 22, 2011 as against 15.57% seen in the previous week. Rising food inflation further deteriorated the market sentiment. During the week, the Nifty slipped below 5400 levels first time since August 2010.
