I found this story, sourced via AP, at two other places, at about the same time as the Hindustan Times:
DowJones Newswires and
NASDAQ. They, and the report in the Hindustan Times, are all pretty much the same thing, but they all credit AP with the story, not each other or some other news service. This was truly a strange situation for a potentially explosive news story. Wonder if we’ll ever hear what the deal was.
