New Delhi, Aug 29: In a money laundering case brought by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), a Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court dismissed Chitra Ramkrishna’s bail request on Monday.
Special CBI judge Sunena Sharma had previously heard arguments on behalf of Ramkrishna and the investigation agency before dismissing the former’s request.
“Arguments on the bail application of accused/applicant Chitra Ramkrishna on behalf of Enforcement Directorate have been heard,” the court said on August 25, reserving its order for today.
Later in the day, a detailed order will be made available.
Additionally, it was claimed that NSE employees’ phones had been forcibly bugged in the case. Sanjay Pandey, a former commissioner of the Mumbai Police, had his bail previously denied.
iSec Services Private Ltd, a business he formed, is accused of illegally tapping the phones of NSE personnel and violating SEBI norms when completing the NSE’s system audit. Pandey is the subject of ED and CBI FIRs.
The unauthorised tapping of MTNL phones allegedly violated the Telegraph Act. It was argued that the 4.54 crore that was spent for this purpose counts as criminal proceeds.
Ramkrishna, who is also facing allegations brought by the CBI and ED, has been charged with routinely changing the title and pay of Anand Subramanian, another former NSE employee.
