Indian stock markets crashed by nearly 4,000 points today, after a sharp rally in the previous session, as early vote-counting trends showed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party-led alliance leading in more than 272 seats, but the extent of the victory was not clear and its lead narrower than what exit polls had predicted.
The BSE Sensex was down 5.07 per cent or 3,997 points at 72,684, while the NSE Nifty 50 was down 5.07 per cent or 1,178 points at 11.10 am.
