Sharan A, 35, from Bengaluru, filed the grievance. The incident happened in Gurugram.
The DLF Phase 1 police station registered an FIR based mostly on a zero grievance filed within the Karnataka capital.
“An FIR has been registered and a probe is underway. We are verifying the facts, and action will be taken as per the law,” Rajesh Kumar, Station House Officer, DLF Phase 1, advised PTI.
IndiGo dismissed the grievance as baseless, claiming it has a zero-tolerance coverage in direction of any type of harassment at its workplaces.
“IndiGo upholds a zero-tolerance coverage in direction of any type of discrimination, harassment, or bias and stays firmly dedicated to being an inclusive and respectful office,” a spokesperson mentioned.
“IndiGo strongly refutes these baseless claims and stands by its values of fairness, integrity and accountability and will extend its support to the law enforcement agencies as required,” the agency added.
What’s the grievance mentioned?
The complainant wrote within the FIR that he belongs to the Adi Dravida neighborhood, a Scheduled caste. He mentioned he was subjected to caste-based remarks a number of occasions on the office.
During a gathering on April 28, IndiGo workers Tapas Dey, Manish Sahni and Captain Rahul Patil allegedly made “derogatory remarks” towards the complainant.
“Caste-based verbal abuse, discrimination and threats were made. I was insulted in front of everyone. Even before this, I faced continuous and targeted harassment and discriminatory behaviour. I was issued several warning letters without any fault or proof. Salary cuts, sick leaves curtailed without any valid reason, staff travel and ACM privileges cancelled… The accused also pressured me to resign,” Sharan A mentioned in his grievance.
