Chitra Ramkrishna has been placed in the custody of CBI
Former National Stock Exchange (NSE) CEO Chitra Ramkrishna has been placed in the custody of the CBI for seven days. In the co-location scam case, she was arrested in New Delhi by the primary investigating agency on Sunday.
In its judgment, the court stated that Ramkrishna shall be questioned by the Central Bureau of Intelligence (CBI) while being monitored by CCTV. The court has ordered that Chitra Ramkrishna be subjected to a medical examination every 24 hours while permitting her lawyers to visit with her every evening.
The public prosecutor stated Ramkrishna was “not cooperating with the inquiry” and had to face “almost 2,500 incriminating emails” when he presented the CBI’s case to Special Judge Sanjeev Aggarwal.
The CBI further claimed that the former NSE CEO “refused to reveal any past relationship” with co-accused Anand Subramanian, even refusing to acknowledge him.
The magistrate, on the other hand, questioned the CBI about the investigation’s poor pace and why other people identified in the FIR had not been arrested yet.
“What about the other defendants identified in the FIR? They are the primary recipients. So, how about them? No action was taken for four years. FIR was kept in a cold storage facility “The judge made a remark.
“It would seem that the custodial inquiry of the above suspected would be required to find out the thorough modus operandi embraced by this accused person in conspiracy with other co-accused individuals involved in the present case, such as co-accused Anand Subramanian, the present case may be of unimaginable magnitude,” the court stated in its order granting Ramkrishna’s custody to the CBI.
The court further stated that Chitra Ramkrishna would be subjected to a solitary interview to confront Anand Subramanian, who is now in police custody.
The court order stated that this could assist investigators in “finding out the full ramifications of the transactions in question, as well as digging out voluminous digital evidence about this case, as well as finding out the role of other players in this case of swindling institutional investors, foreign institutional investors, and honest retail investors.”
For the next hearing, in this case, Ramkrishna will be brought before the court on March 14.
What is the scam of co-location?
The CBI had questioned her for three days in a row before arresting her and searching her home.
Ramkrishna, who was the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NSE from 2013 to 2016, was also questioned by a top psychologist from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory.
On Sunday, the CBI arrested her on suspicion of giving evasive replies during the interview. Her anticipatory bail motion was denied by a Delhi court on Saturday.
In 2018, the CBI filed an FIR about the co-location scam. According to the CBI, the case includes a Delhi-based stockbroker who, according to the CBI, was able to obtain knowledge regarding stock trades ahead of others.
The matter came to light after the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) charged Chitra Ramkrishna and others with unfair conduct on February 11, including the nomination of Anand Subramanian as group operating officer of the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE).
SEBI also revealed in its order that Ramkrishna communicated private information regarding the National Stock Exchange via email with a “mystery yogi.” Many people connected with the case believe it was Anand Subramanian who was the “mystery yogi.”
Navi Mumbai Civic Body Bridges the Healthcare Gap with Free Screenings and Follow-up Care Across Local Centers.
The Drive
In a major boost to public health, 1,292 citizens were screened during a free cancer detection drive conducted across various health centers by the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC).
The initiative focused on early detection for common cancers including oral, breast, and cervical cancers giving local residents access to crucial preventive care close to home. Medical teams set up diagnostic stations at Urban Primary Health Centers (UPHCs) to ensure seamless access, particularly for working-class and middle-income families.
Beyond basic checkups, civic health teams provided guidance on early warning signs, lifestyle risks, and the importance of routine health monitoring. Citizens identified with potential symptoms received direct referrals to municipal hospitals for further testing and subsidized follow-up treatment.
Community health drives play an essential role in saving lives by catching illnesses before they progress. By making preventive care accessible to all, NMMC continues to strengthen healthcare infrastructure across the city.

The day featured classic games including Kombda, Katwatkhana, blowing into copper pots (Kalshi Phunkne), and dancing with decorated earthen pots.
Beyond the cultural performances, the gathering highlighted strong neighborhood ties. Local residents expressed deep appreciation for the safe, supportive environment fostered in the area, noting that community initiatives like these strengthen mutual trust and preserve local culture for younger generations. With smiling faces, traditional rhythms, and shared prayers for prosperity, this year’s Nag Panchami reaffirmed the power of community traditions in keeping local heritage vibrant and strong.
Meta Multispeciality Hospital in Ghansoli opens with free care for newborn baby girls and elderly citizens.
The Hospital
Access to quality healthcare just got a major boost for local families. Meta Multispeciality Hospital officially opened its doors in Ghansoli Sector 4, promising state-of-the-art medical technology alongside a deeply human approach to community care.
The facility was inaugurated by Forest Minister and Palghar Guardian Minister Ganesh Naik, who toured the premises to inspect its emergency wards, OPD facilities, and advanced diagnostic machinery. Speaking to attendees, Naik praised the hospital’s leadership for prioritizing affordable, high-quality treatment for middle-class households.
What sets the hospital apart, however, is its landmark social welfare initiative announced during the opening by community leader Sagar Chougule and hospital administrator Dr. Swarna Shelke:
- Free Maternity Care for Girl Child Deliveries: To celebrate and encourage the birth of female children, the hospital will waive all delivery charges for mothers giving birth to baby girls.
- Free OPD Services for Seniors: Outpatient consultations will be entirely free for senior citizens aged 65 and above.
“Healthcare shouldn’t feel like an unbearable financial burden,” said Dr. Shelke. “Our primary goal is to bring modern medical infrastructure within reach of every everyday citizen.”
With monsoon-related illnesses on the rise, the team also plans to host free community health camps to catch seasonal infections early. By blending modern medicine with genuine community compassion, the new hospital aims to build a healthier, safer Navi Mumbai.
