of a larger GRB collaboration :

The Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), India observed the field of
XRF 080109/SN2008D (GCN 7159, GCN 7178) on 11 Feb. 2008 (between 14.0 UT
and 19.0 UT) at 1280 MHz using a bandwidth of 32 MHz. The radio transient
was not detected down to a 3-sigma upper limit of 165 microJy at the
source location.
