On the 8th of July, Friday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered a case against Ms. Chitra Ramakrishna, the Ex-Chairman of the National Stock Exchange, and Mr. Sanjay Pandey, the former Mumbai Police Commissioner.
On the directions of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA,) the CBI booked Mr. Sanjay Pandey and Ms. Chitra Ramakrishna, for allegedly tapping the phones of the NSE employees, between 2009 to 2017. The MHA asked the CBI to file a case and prepare a charge sheet under the Illegal Phone Tapping Act. Notably, the case file came a day after the CBI conducted raids at multiple locations in Pune, Mumbai, and other parts of India.
The CBI source revealed, “Pandey ran iSec Securities Pvt. Ltd. It has been alleged that Ramkrishna used this firm to tap the phone of NSE’s employees. The phone calls made by NSE employees between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. were tapped and recorded by iSec Securities Pvt. Ltd. It has been alleged that Pandey helped in tapping the phone calls illegally.”
Notably, Mr. Sanjay Pandey and Ms. Chitra Ramkrishna are already booked for money laundering charges in connection with the co-location NSE scam. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) registered the money laundering case and is already probing the matter.
Meanwhile, the CBI registered a fresh case and launched an investigation into this matter.
