According to an ED official, summon was sent on Saturday to Pandey, as reported by news agency PTI.
In April 2021, the Uddhav Thackeray government gave him the charge of the DGP of Maharashtra. However, the charge was withdrawn from IPS Rajnish Seth after being appointed as Maharashtra's DGP. The 1986 batch IPS officer was the 76th Police Commissioner of Mumbai Police. He took the responsibility of commissioner from IPS Hemant Nagrale.

When former Mumbai Police Commissioner Sanjay Pandey was the state's DGP, he allegedly pressured the then Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh to dilute the case against former Home Minister Anil Deshmukh.
When Pandey was not in service, the firm named iSec Services Pvt Ltd was incorporated. He quit the directorship in May 2006, and made his son and mother directors in the firm.
Between 2010 and 2015, a firm named Isec Services Pvt Ltd was given the contract for NSE servers and systems. Earlier, the CBI had investigated this matter and now the ED is doing the investigation, which Sanjay Pandey has been summoned by the ED to join.
