NSE phone-tapping case: CBI gets 4-day custody of Mumbai ex-top cop

More than two months after the CBI registered an FIR against former Mumbai Police commissioner Sanjay Pandey, a special CBI court on Saturday granted the agency four-day custody of Pandey in connection with the alleged illegal phone-tapping of National Stock Exchange (NSE) employees by his IT firm.

Pandey was already in judicial custody of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the investigation against him.

CBI’s case registered in July is the second FIR in the matter. The probe agency had registered the first FIR in 2018 and arrested former NSE MD and CEO Chitra Ramkrishna, among others.
