Days after his retirement as the commissioner of the Mumbai police, Sanjay Pandey is facing the heat of central agencies. Pandey was first summoned by the ED in connection with a money laundering case linked to the NSE co-location scam. Now, he has been booked by the CBI for allegedly tapping the phones of NSE employees between 2009 and 2017.

Sources said a company founded by Pandey intercepted calls of NSE employees and gave the transcripts to the NSE co-location scam accused, including the bourse’s former CEO Chitra Ramakrishna. The Central Bureau of Investigation said in a release on Friday that it registered a case against Pandey and Ramakrishna on the orders of the Union home minister. It has also booked a few people associated with iSEC Services Pvt. Ltd. The agency raided 18 different locations, including Sanjay Pandey’s homes in Mumbai and Chandigarh. Raids were conducted in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi NCR, Lucknow, Kota and Chandigarh.
