Any person buying such shares will be purchasing so at his own risk, a statement from the IT department said.

An appellate tribunal had asked country’s federal law enforcement and economic intelligence agency, Enforcement Directorate (ED) to maintain ‘status quo’ in connection with the properties of Mallya until November 26.

It asked until the next date of hearing, Mallya is restricted not to make an agreement with and change the status of the movable and immovable assets and also shall not create third party interest in any manner directly or indirectly.
