As per news report of The Indian Express, “Subramanian was arrested by a team of officials in Chennai late on Thursday night. He will be produced in a competent court today,” a CBI official said. CBI had earlier questioned Subramanian for three days ending the interrogation on February 21. It has already questioned former MD-CEO Chitra Ramkrishna and former CEO Ravi Narain. While Ramkrishna’s questioning took place last Friday, Narain was questioned last Saturday. Earlier this week, a team of CBI also visited the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) office in Mumbai and collected documents related to the case. The interrogations, according to CBI, were being made in light of a Sebi report that said Ramkrishna had been sharing confidential NSE information with a “Himalayan Yogi” and indicted her for Subramanian’s appointment in contravention of rules.
