HDFC Bank Faces US Law Firms' Scrutiny
HDFC Bank is being investigated by three US law firms because of a report that said the bank might have made secret payments to a government official in Maharashtra.
This report made the bank's stock price drop by 3%, and the law firms are now asking investors who lost money to contact them.
The law firms want to see if HDFC Bank broke any US laws.
