New Delhi: Former National Stock Exchange (NSE) Chief Executive Chitra Ramkrishna, accused of grave lapses at India’s largest stock market including sharing confidential information with an individual she dubbed a “Himalayan yogi”, has been arrested by the CBI.
The arrest came just a day after a Delhi Court dismissed her request for a pre-arrest bail plea and pulled up the Central Bureau of Investigation or CBI for inaction and being “lackadaisical” in the probe against her over the last four years.
Special Judge Sanjeev Aggarwal also observed that market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has been “too kind” to the accused, that she faced serious charges and her sustained custodial interrogation would be required to dig out the truth.
