BSE has sought clarification from Fortis Healthcare with reference to reports that Manipal hospital is in advanced talks to merge Fortis Health with itself.

The Singh brothers have jointly tendered their resignation to the Board of Fortis Healthcare, which will discuss it in the meeting on February 13, the company said in a filing to the BSE yesterday.

According to media reports, Deloitte has refused to certify Fortis Q2 results as Singh brothers have said to have taken out $78 million from the firm. BSE has sought clarification from Fortis Healthcare in this regard.
