NSE phone tapping: Delhi HC issues notice to ED on ex-Mumbai top cop’s bail plea

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday issued a notice to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on the bail plea of former Mumbai Police Commissioner Sanjay Pandey, who was arrested in connection with a money laundering case pertaining to the phone tapping and snooping of the employees of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) between 2009 and 2017.
Hearing the matter, Justice Jasmeet Singh also issued a notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a separate petition moved by Pandey seeking quashing of FIRs against him in offences of cheating, criminal breach of trust by a public servant, and cheating under the Indian Penal Code (IPC), under various provisions of the Information Technology Act, Indian Telegraph Act, and Prevention of Corruption Act.
During the course of the hearing, Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi appeared on behalf of the petitioner.
The matter will be heard on September 16.
Pandey was knocking the doors of the high court challenging a trial court’s August 4 order which denied him bail in the money laundering case.
The former top cop who was arrested on July 19 is currently undergoing judicial custody.
According to the CBI, “Pandey ran iSec Securities Pvt Ltd. It has been alleged that NSE’s former CEO and MD Chitra Ramkrishna used this firm to tap the phones of NSE’s employees. The phone calls made by NSE employees between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. were tapped and recorded by iSec Securities. It has been alleged that Pandey helped in tapping the phone calls illegally”.
In the last hearing, Advocate Tanveer Ahmed Mir, who represented the petitioner, argued that his client was in fact a ‘whistleblower’ at the NSE.
Opposing the bail plea, Additional Solicitor General (ASG) S.V. Raju and Special Public Prosecutor N.K. Matta, appeared on behalf of the ED, pointed out that Pandey is an influential person.
Ramkrishna is already in the custody of ED in the same case on the basis of an FIR registered by the CBI.
The case was lodged by the probe agency on the directions of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.
Earlier, the CBI had recorded Pandey’s statement at CBI’s Mumbai-based headquarters.
After questioning, he was allowed to leave.
The CBI had also conducted raids in Mumbai, Pune and in several other parts of the country in connection with the case.

Hajj Committee of India’s negligence deprives 81 pilgrims of Hajj

Mumbai: Due to the negligence of the Mumbai Hajj Committee of India, 81 pilgrims have been deprived of the Hajj. The pilgrims are unable to leave for Hajj due to the non-issuance of visas from the Saudi Consulate. The last flight of the pilgrims also departed from Mumbai International Airport today, May 30. The passports and necessary documents of these pilgrims were collected and money was also collected from them, but now the Hajj Committee of India has promised to return this money, but due to the negligence of the Hajj Committee, the pilgrims had to be deprived of the Hajj today. Jamia Masjid Trust Trustee Shoaib Khatib said that the deprivation of the Hajj pilgrims from the Hajj is very unfortunate.
Earlier, all the documents of the pilgrims were collected, not only that, but after completing all the steps, these pilgrims were transferred from the waiting list to the general list and then these pilgrims appeared at the Mumbai Hajj Committee from other states, but the visas of these pilgrims were not issued till the last day. Behind this is the negligence and carelessness of the Hajj Committee and the administration. When an attempt was made to inquire about the Hajj pilgrims, Deputy CEO Sadaqat did not receive the mobile phone nor did he issue any explanatory statement in this regard. The pilgrims who have been deprived of the Hajj Saadat Hajj have been kept on the second floor of the Hajj Committee of India. When the representative of the Hajj Committee went to meet them, the Hajj Committee and security staff stopped them and said that now a permit is required to enter the Hajj Committee. These pilgrims have also been intimidated to avoid making statements in the media, which is why the pilgrims have expressed their inability to talk to the media or the representative.
