NOIDA: A leading financial service company's vice president was arrested on Thursday on allegations of sexual harassment and molestation of one of his female employees.
A police team will go to the company's office on Friday to record the statement of other female employees to establish the character of the accused.
According to Gautam Budh Nagar SSP Praveen Kumar, the incident took place on Tuesday when the accused identified as G Krishnan (38) allegedly molested the victim Rekha (name changed). The victim then filed a complaint with the police. The matter was then transferred to the Mahila police station.
Police said the victim, a resident of Sector 19, has been working as a manager in the company located in Sector 125 of Noida for the past 18 months. The accused is a resident of Arun Vihar in Noida. "Two months ago, the accused had first tried to molest the victim after showing her porn videos. According to the complaint, the accused has allegedly tried to molest the victim at least thrice," said SO, Monika Chauhan.
"The accused used to call the victim in his room and while she would be standing next to him, he would open porn videos on his laptop," Chauhan said.
An FIR has been registered against the accused under Sections 294 (obscene acts and songs), 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) and 292 of the IPC. The accused has been arrested and further legal proceedings have begun.
"We suspect that the accused may have tried to show porn videos to other female employees, so on Friday we will go to question other women employed with the company. We will also record the statement of the employees which will help us to establish the character of the accused before he is produced in court," Chauhan said.
Police said initially the victim was reluctant to file an FIR against the accused, but when women cops convinced her she decided to take the legal route.
