HONG KONG—Investors sold off China Evergrande Group shares and bonds on Friday after a leaked document allegedly showed the nations second-biggest property developer by sales sought government help to avert a cash crunch. The document showed Evergrande asked a local government to support a Shenzhen backdoor listing plan before Jan. 31 or else it would need to repay over $19 billion raised for the listing, which would weigh on its cash flow. Evergrande late on Thursday said the document which had been circulating online was a fabrication and amounted to defamation, and it has reported the matter to the public securities authority.

Facebook denies it violated any law. Affected users are now able to file claims digitally until Nov. 23 this year.
