Former Mumbai police commissioner Sanjay Pandey was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday night in connection with a money laundering case tied to the CBI’s NSE snooping probe. Pandey has been in the crosshairs of ED and CBI following his retirement on June 30. ED said he will be produced in a court in Delhi and the agency will seek his custody. Pandey’s arrest came after questioning over several hours. 

Pandey, his company iSEC Services Pvt. Lt. along with former National Stock Exchange CEO Chitra Ramkrishna, Ravi Narain, former MD and CEO, and others were booked by the CBI for allegedly tapping phones of the bourse’s employees between 2009 and 2017. As per CBI’s FIR, iSEC received R4.54 crore from the NSE for this work.  The ED then registered a money laundering case against all the accused mentioned CBI’s FIR and it also took the custody of Ramakrishna who is already in jail in the NSE co-location scam.
