Mumbai/New Delhi: In a coordinated action, teams of the Income Tax Department investigators on Thursday carried out searches at the premises of Chitra Ramkrishnan, former managing director (MD) and chief executive officer (CEO) of National Stock Exchange (NSE) and her mother, well placed sources said.

According to the sources, eight to nine officials of the IT department landed at the Mumbai residence of Ramkrishnan as well as that of her mother’s and have been carrying out searches since.

It is alleged that the searches are in connection with her sharing confidential information pertaining to the NSE to some spiritual guru.
