About the Co-location Issue

SEBI looked into this matter. They found that there were some problems with how things were managed. As a result, Chitra Ramkrishna was asked to return some of her salary. She was also not allowed to work with certain financial companies for five years. This was to make sure the market stayed fair for everyone.

In February 2022, SEBI shared information about another investigation. It was found that for about 20 years, Chitra Ramkrishna had been getting advice from an unknown person. This person was called a 'Himalayan yogi'.
The investigation looked into whether important business information was shared with this person. The CBI, which is a big investigation agency in India, looked into this case. Chitra Ramkrishna was part of this investigation.
