When Sanjay Pandey, then acting Director General of Police (DGP) of Maharashtra, recommended an FIR against fellow IPS officer Rashmi Shukla in an illegal phonetapping case in December 2021, he would have had a little premonition that a similar scandal would catch up with him. The Enforcement Directorate on July 19 arrested Pandey in connection with the alleged illegal snooping on National Stock Exchange (NSE) employees, seen as potentially a key part of a mega scam. Pandey had retired just days ago as Mumbai police com missioner, after a ‘blotless’ career.
At the root of the charges is iSec Services Private Limited, a security audit firm Pandey set up in 2001. The CBI claims that between 2009 and 2017, then NSE managing director Chitra Ramakrishna and vice-chairman Ravi Narain hired iSec to snoop on NSE employees to find out if the victims were leaking exchange-related information. The firm had allegedly received around Rs 4.45 crore as the contract amount. This was also the period of the colocation scam at the NSE.
