In the NSE case the CBI is expected to detain Chitra Ramakrishna
Sources tell that Chitra Ramakrishna, the former chief of the National Stock Exchange (NSE), is likely to be detained by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) after a Delhi court denied her anticipatory bail appeal on Saturday.
Chitra Ramakrishna had filed a court appeal seeking protection from the CBI’s detention. After the agency objected, her application was denied.
Officials may arrest her shortly, according to sources, but if she goes to the high court, the CBI will have to wait for an order.
Chitra Ramakrishna, NSE’s former Managing Director, and Chief Executive Officer are being investigated for allegedly sharing private NSE information with a “yogi who resides in the Himalayas.”
CBI officers had previously questioned her in Mumbai. Anand Subramaniam, her suspected close friend, and former Group Operating Officer of NSE was previously detained by the CBI.
Officials claim that the suspected discriminatory activities in NSE took place between 2010 and 2015. Ravi Narain was the NSE’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer until March 2013. At the time, Chitra Ramakrishna was the company’s, Deputy CEO. She succeeded Ravi Narain as CEO of the NSE, which she led until December 2016.
According to sources, the CBI took action in response to recent SEBI findings (Securities and Exchanges Board of India).
“As during inquiry into the matter of co-location facilities at NSE, SEBI came across all these documentary evidence, which illustrated that Notice No. 1 [Chitra Ramakrishna], former MD & CEO of NSE, had disclosed certain internal confidential information of NSE, viz., organizational structure, dividend scenario, financial results, human resources policy, and related issues, response to the regulator, etc., with an unfamiliar persuasion,” the SEBI said in its order on February 11.
According to sources, the CBI has new evidence in the co-location case against Chitra Ramakrishna.
In 2018, the CBI filed an FIR in a co-location case on the court’s directives. The CBI case involves a stockbroker who allegedly corrupted the NSE’s system with the cooperation of then-top officials to acquire access to the markets before anyone else when they opened.
Sanjay Gupta (promoter of OPG Security Pvt Ltd), Aman Kokrady, his brother-in-law, and data cruncher and researcher Ajay Shah, as well as anonymous NSE and SEBI employees, were listed as suspects in the investigation by the CBI.
The broker’s computer is located in the same area as the stock exchange’s server, which is known as co-location.
In comparison to other brokers, this gives brokers a time advantage. The broker whose computer is housed in the NSE’s server room has first access to market data, allowing them to profit handsomely from stock trading.
In the CBI investigation, broker Sanjay Gupta reportedly had access to the NSE’s co-location facility, allowing his firm, OPG Security Pvt Ltd, to acquire early access to data and earn massive financial profits.

The Case
The incident took place at Ashtavinayak Society in Adai village, Panvel taluka, around 11 pm on Tuesday. According to police, the dispute began over the society’s elevator repeatedly malfunctioning.

Jadhav was accompanied by Hrishikesh Suresh Satpute, 36. During the argument, Satpute allegedly attacked Patil with a knife, injuring his neck, chest, abdomen, back and thigh. Patil’s wife reportedly tried to intervene, but the accused allegedly pushed her away.
The entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras installed near the ground-floor elevator. Patil was admitted to Veer Hospital in New Panvel for treatment. Khandeshwar police arrested both accused and registered a case of attempted murder and other offences against them.
A Panvel court remanded the two men in police custody until October 9 for further investigation. The incident highlights how a dispute over a common housing society facility allegedly escalated into a violent attack.
