It is apparent that Chitra refused to reveal the identity of the unknown person and has sought to claim that the unknown person is a spiritual force, a SEBI probe found.

What she said to SEBI

Chitra submitted to SEBI that the unknown person is a spiritual force having no physical persona. SEBI found that she made incorrect and misleading submission before NSE that the unknown person was a 'siddha-purusha' or 'paramhans' who did not have physical persona and could materialise at will.
