Closing Bell: Sensex Falls 332 Points, Nifty Slips Below 23,800

Indian stock markets ended lower for the fifth straight session on Friday. The Sensex lost 332 points, while the Nifty closed below 23,800 as rising crude oil prices and inflation concerns hurt investor confidence. Auto stocks led the decline, though IT and media shares limited losses by posting modest gains during the trading session.
