Shares of Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. fell on Tuesday after short-seller Hindenburg Research, in its response, alleged that Kotak Mahindra Investment Ltd. had created and oversaw an offshore fund structure used by Kingdon Capital Management LLC to bet against Adani Enterprises Ltd.
"While SEBI seemingly tied itself in knots to claim jurisdiction over us, its notice conspicuously failed to name the party that has an actual tie to India: Kotak Bank, one of India's largest banks and brokerage firms founded by Uday Kotak, which created and oversaw the offshore fund structure used by our investor partner to bet against Adani," said Hindenburg Research's response to the regulator. "Instead, it simply named the K-India Opportunities fund and masked the 'Kotak' name with the acronym 'KMIL'."

Shares of the lender fell as much as 2.2%, the lowest level since June 25, before paring some loss to trade 2.1% lower to Rs 1,769.50 apiece as of 11:38 a.m. This compares to a 0.16% advance in the NSE Nifty 50.
