Dear Suraj,
YES -
Interest on borrowals is deductible only if it is not allowed under section 57 - The interest paid on borrowings for the acquisition of a capital asset must fall for deduction under section 48. But, if the same sum is already the subject-matter of deduction under other heads like those under section 57, it cannot find a place again for the purpose of computation under section 48 - CIT v. Maithreyi Pai [1985] 152 ITR 247 (Kar.).

Why do you want to include the interest ( paid on loan taken to acquire shares ) in the cost of acquisition of the shares? Not necessary, you can show it as a separate component while computing Short Term Capital Gains.
