The wife of the 35-year-old Genpact India Assistant Vice-President, who ended his life late Tuesday night, has blamed company responsible for her husband death. She alleged that the company didn’t follow the protocol.
Swaroop Raj committed suicide at his Noida home following complaints of sexual harassment by two of his colleagues. Police on Thursday on the basis of the complaint given by his wife registered an First Information Report (FIR) against company’s management and two women employees for abetment to suicide.
Talking to The Pioneer Kirti Srivastva, wife of Swaroop Raj said that the two women had given complaint on Saturday and her husband was suspended on Tuesday without ascertaining the veracity of the complaints against her husband.
“We are not aware whether Swaroop’s immediate boss was aware about complaint or not. He was not in India and the action was taken against Swaroop in absence of his superior,” Kriti alleged.
“My husband was informed about the complaints against him on December 18, and he ended his life the same day. He was suspended immediately without any inquiry into the matter,” she said in her FIR.
“I work in the same company. I have not heard any such allegation against him in the office,” she further stated in her complaint.
The Surajpur police have registered a case under Section 306 of the Indian Penal
Code. “She has named senior employees, members of the committee handling sexual harassment matters, and people involved in the suspension of the deceased as responsible for the suicide of her husband,” said Munish Chauhan, station house officer (SHO), Surajpur police station.
