NSEL is in the midst of a default of around Rs. 5,600 crore.
Three of NSEL’s officials, including its former Managing Director and CEO Anjani Sinha, have been arrested by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police .
Mr. Shah and Joseph Massey, Managing Director and CEO of the FTIL-promoted stock exchange, MCX-SX, also resigned from the board on October 9.
Commodity exchange regulator Forward Markets Commission (FMC) had issued show cause notices to Mr. Shah, Mr. Javalgekar and Mr. Massey on October 4, questioning their 'fit and proper' status to operate MCX.
