CBI officials seized possible evidence from Anand Subramanian’s residence, who is also suspected to have impersonated as a ‘yogi’ to influence former NSE chief Chitra Ramakrishna.

During the questioning in Chennai on Tuesday, the CBI officials also seized possible evidence from Anand Subramanian’s residence, who is also suspected to have impersonated as a ‘yogi’ to influence then NSE chief Chitra Ramakrishna.

Anand Subramanian was the Chief Strategic Advisor from April 1, 2013, and was re-designated as Group Operating Officer (GOO) and advisor to Chitra Ramakrishna when she was managing director (MD) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) from April 01, 2015, till October 21, 2016. Interestingly, Anand Subramaniam was brought into NSE by Chitra Ramakrishna without allegedly following the rules and procedures.
The Securities & Exchanges Board of India (Sebi) had received several complaints between December 15, 2015, to November 2016 alleging governance issues in the appointment of Anand Subramanian as the Group Operating Officer and advisor to Chitra Subramaniam.
According to the complaints, Anand Subramanian was hired at such a senior position without having any proper experience in the finance sector and was withdrawing a salary of more than Rs 4 crore per annum which was much higher than most of the seniors at NSE.
