The CBI probe may lead to the identification of those responsible for the disposal of the laptops that had been assigned to former National Stock Exchange (NSE) group operating officer Anand Subramanian and then exchange's managing director Chitra Ramkrishna.
As highlighted in the February 11 order of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), during a forensic investigation conducted at the NSE’s instance, only the desktops given to Mr. Subramanian and Ms. Ramkrishna were imaged or checked. The laptops were not available as they had been disposed of as e-waste.
Also, exchanges with the unknown “Himalayan yogi” through private email accounts could not be accessed, the order said.
