INFO LEAK FROM RBI?



A hunt is on to track down men suspected to have leaked the discussions of a closed-door meeting this week between Reserve Bank of India (RBI) deputy governor Viral Acharya and a dozen senior fund managers and bankers. 

Bond prices dipped soon after the meeting on Monday, with security yields further hardening after a news agency report linked the price movements to views purportedly expressed by Acharya.
