The compromise had allowed one of the trading companies to get unfair access to the system, resulting in windfall profits.
It is alleged that the firm incorporated by Pandey was one of the IT companies tasked with conducting security audits at NSE from 2010 to 2015 when the co-location scam is believed to have taken place. (ANI)
