Former National Stock Exchange (NSE) Chief Executive Chitra Ramkrishna has been arrested by the CBI for serious lapses at India's largest stock market including sharing confidential information with an individual she dubbed a "Himalayan yogi".
The agency plans to question both of them together and since confidential information from the NSE was shared with outsiders, the agency is also trying to find those who profited from it.
Last month, the mysterious "Himalayan yogi" who allegedly influenced Ms Ramkrishna's decisions was revealed as Anand Subramanian, also a former officer at the stock exchange arrested in a market manipulation case.
SEBI has charged Ms Ramkrishna, who was the MD and CEO of the NSE from April 2013 to December 2016, and others with alleged governance lapses in the appointment of Mr Subramanian and his outsized promotion, one of the decisions that Chitra Ramkrishna took under the so-called "yogi's influence".
Last month, the agency had questioned her for four days in the case filed in 2018 that involves an unfair advantage in trading to some brokers. During the questioning, Ramakrishna gave evasive answers claiming no knowledge of the co-location server passing the buck to Muralidharan Natarajan, then CTO (Chief Technology Officer) of NSETECH.
The NSE also said it was "committed to highest standards of governance and transparency", and described the issue as being "almost six to nine years old".
