         Harshad Shantilal Mehta was an Indian stockbroker who is alleged to have engineered the rise in the BSE Stock Exchange in 1992. Journalist Sucheta Dalal, often credited to be the first person to expose Mehta's illegal methods, wrote an article in The Times of India stating that the crucial mechanism through which the scam was effected was the ___(X)___ deal. X, in essence, is a secured short-term loan from one bank to other. Give me X for 5 points.
