Former NSE CEO Chitra Ramkrishna Arrested in Co-location Scam Case

Former head of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) Chitra Ramkrishna was arrested by the CBI from Delhi late Sunday evening in connection with the co-location scam case. This comes a day after a Delhi court on Saturday dismissed the pre-arrest bail plea of Ramkrishna in the co-location case, pulling up the CBI for inaction and being lackadaisical in the probe against the accused in the last four years. The co-location case pertains to the allegations that certain brokers received unfair preferential access to NSE servers.

The Income Tax (IT) Department earlier raided various premises linked to Ramkrishna in Mumbai and Chennai.
