The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) night arrested its ex-MD and CEO Chitra Ramkrishna from her Delhi residence. She will be produced before the Rouse Avenue Court on Monday, and the agency will seek her custody for questioning.
Earlier, ex-Group Operating Officer Anand Subramanian was arrested on the night of February 24 after several rounds of questioning. He was later sent to CBI custody till March 6. The CBI is trying to corroborate the evidences collected by them with the questioning of Subramanian.
The agency is probing the matter since May 2018 but they haven’t found any concrete evidence to identify the mysterious Himalayan “yogi” with whom classified information was shared by Ramkrishna. The SEBI had recently imposed a fine of Rs 3 crore on her, following the market regulator finding that she allegedly shared vital inputs about the NSE with the “yogi” between 2014 and 2016.
On April 1, 2013, Ramkrishna became the CEO and MD of NSE. She brought in Subramanian as her advisor the same year. Subramanian was made the Chief Strategic Advisor of NSE. He served at this post between 2013 and 2015 before being made Group Operations Officer and Advisor to the MD between 2015 and 2016, despite having no exposure to the capital market.
