Investors took profits on Friday while they could ahead of the weekend, explained Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research.

In view of this, the regulator has cautioned investors not to rely on such investment tips / advice received through social media platforms. It has also said investors should exercise utmost caution while taking investment decisions while dealing in the securities market.

In 2018, Russia banned Telegram although it reversed the prohibition two years later.
