Ramakrishna was arrested by the CBI in a separate case and is currently in judicial custody.
New Delhi:
The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday arrested former NSE MD Chitra Ramakrishna in a money laundering case related to alleged illegal phone tapping and espionage of stock exchange employees after a Delhi court cleared it to probe the matter.
Special Judge Sunaina Sharma allowed four days’ custodial interrogation of Ramakrishnan.
The former NSE MD was produced in the court from jail on an earlier order passed by the judge.
The judge had issued a production warrant against the accused on the ED’s plea.
After the accused was produced, the ED had taken permission from the court to interrogate him.
Later, the ED arrested Ramakrishna on the grounds of non-cooperation and produced him again in the court and sought nine days’ custodial interrogation.
The court, however, remanded him to four days’ custody to the agency.
