Ex-NSE chiefgets relief in phone tapping case

The Delhi High Court has rejected the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) challenge to the bail granted to former National Stock Exchange (NSE) managing director and CEO, Chitra Ramkrishna, in a phone-tapping case. The court dismissed the CBI's petition that questioned the December 22, 2022 order granting bail to Ramkrishna.

The case centers around allegations that senior NSE officials, including Ramkrishna, conspired with iSec Services Pvt Ltd to illegally intercept phone calls of NSE employees. The CBI has alleged that iSec was subsequently engaged to intercept the phone calls as part of the criminal conspiracy. Ramkrishna's bail remains in place pending the detailed order from the high court.
