The Indian market closed in deep red territory backed by the global concerns that whether the US Federal Reserve initiative to infuse $200bn into the global finance system will bring a shy of relief to the credit markets.

Market sinks on bear hammering
The market went into a complete tailspin as the much awaited correction shaved nearly 900 points off the Sensex during the intra-day trades.
