On Friday, the broadcasting firm denied any involvement in the 2G scam and said allegations were being levelled to harm the reputation of the company and its promoters.
"There has been a steep fall in the prices of the company's shares possibly triggered by baseless allegations and rumours linking the company with certain happenings relating to the 2G scam," Sun TV has said.
"We wish to inform that Sun TV Network and Kalanithi Maran do not have any relationship whatsoever to any of these happenings," it added.
In the previous week, the stock slipped to its one-year low level, in the wake of media reports that Maran family-owned Sun TV was a beneficiary of pay-offs by an overseas telecom firm.
Meanwhile, the BSE benchmark index Sensex settled at 18,420.11, up 43.63 points.
