Zetrix denies rumours of link to Saravanan case

Publicly-traded Zetrix AI Group issued a statement denying any connection to the corruption case involving former human resources minister M Saravanan. In a filing with the stock exchange, the company acknowledged that unfounded rumors or speculation may have influenced its recent share trading activity. Zetrix closed today's trading at 29.5 sen, with a trading volume of 1.05 billion shares.

The group insisted there was no basis for the rumors or speculation and had no knowledge of any correlation between the charges and the company's operations.
