Ex NSE Chief, Accused Of Sharing Info With Himalayan Yogi, Interrogated

Yesterday tax officials raided Chitra Ramkrishna in connection with allegations she shared NSE financial data with a spiritual guru living in the Himalayas

Chitra Ramkrishna, the former head of India's largest stock exchange, is being questioned by the CBI over the infamous 'tick by tick' stock market manipulation case, sources told NDTV on Friday.

An FIR, or first information report, was registered in the case earlier but new facts have come to light since, which is why Ms Ramkrishna is being questioned, sources said.

The CBI has also posted notices against Ms Ramkrishna, former COO Anand Subramaniam, and her predecessor Ravi Narayan, to stop them from leaving the country.

Ms Ramkrishna, who was CEO and Managing Director of the National Stock Exchange from 2013 to 2016 before she quit for "personal reasons", is also under investigation for an alleged "glaring breach" of regulations - sharing confidential financial data with a 'yogi' living in the Himalayas.
