REUTERS - Indian shares fell more than 1 percent on Monday, declining for a second straight session, as caution prevailed in global markets ahead of the U.S. presidential debate that will pit Donald Trump against Hillary Clinton.

The Sensex ended down 1.30 percent at 28,294.28, after posting its biggest intraday percentage fall since Sept. 12.

The Nifty lost 1.23 percent to 8,723.05.
