Karachi:  Pakistan's Karachi Stock Exchange 100 Index fell 79.33, or 0.8 per cent, to 10,208.81.

Bank of Punjab, Pakistan's biggest regional financial services provider, fell 1.7 per cent to Rs15 after investors sold to profit from an earlier gain.

The share rose as much as 4 per cent earlier after the government told the Supreme Court the former chief executive of the bank, who is accused of fraud, will be extradited.

"The government told the Supreme Court that they are sending their representatives to the US to bring him back to Pakistan by May 14," Mahmoud A. Shaikh, Khan's lawyer, said by telephone from Lahore.

"Shares rose on the news of extradition and this provided day traders the opportunity to sell toward the end of the day to book profit," said Ayub Ansari, research analyst at Invest Capital and Securities.
