NEW DELHI: The CBI has registered an FIR against former Mumbai Police Commissioner Sanjay Pandey and former Managing Director and CEO of NSE Chitra Ramkrishna for the former’s information technology firm allegedly illegally tapping the phones of stock exchange employees, officials said. The CBI action comes after a complaint from the union’s Home Office, they said.
In addition to Pandey and Ramkrishna, the CBI also named another former CEO of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and MD Ravi Narain in the case.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is conducting searches at 10 locations in Mumbai, Pune and other cities in connection with the FIR against Pandey, officials said.
It is alleged that iSec Securities Pvt. Ltd, one of several companies that conducted a security audit of NSE, illegally tapped phones of NSE employees between 2009 and 2017, the CBI said.
The company conducted an audit around the time the collocation irregularities are said to have taken place.
The company was founded by Pandey in March 2001 and he resigned as a director in May 2006. His son and mother later took over the management of the company.
The police officer, who studied at IIT-Kanpur and Harvard University, is said to have founded the company after leaving the service.
His resignation was not accepted by the state government and he re-entered but was not immediately given a post.
