Why was the stop loss order triggered without the trigger price being hit as per the charts?

The activation of a stop loss order might have taken place even if the trigger price wasn't visibly reached on the charts, due to limitations in trading and charting platforms. These platforms typically display only one transaction (either a buy or sell) per second on the chart, despite the possibility of multiple transactions happening within that same second. As a result, it's possible that the stop loss or limit order was executed during a transaction that wasn't visible on the chart, regardless of the specific platform being used (e.g., NSE, Yahoo, NEST, or others). To confirm the executed trades, one can verify them on the exchange itself.
