A bank manager in Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh has been booked following allegations of sexual harassment, inappropriate behaviour and threats made against a female colleague. The woman alleged that the manager behaved inappropriately with her inside his cabin, sent her obscene videos and shared her mobile number with another employee after she refused his advances.
She also claimed that he deliberately rejected her promotion application, threatened to get her transferred to another district and pressured her to resign. Police have registered a case and are investigating the allegations.
The woman had been working at the bank in Sultanpur since 2023. According to her complaint, the manager began asking her personal questions and pressuring her to go out with him. She alleged that when she refused, he threatened to cause her harm.
The complainant alleged that the manager called her into his cabin, grabbed her hand and behaved inappropriately with her. She said the same incident was repeated again after a few days. He again called her into his cabin and began asking personal questions. When she objected to his behaviour, he shared her mobile number with other people, following which she started receiving obscene messages and videos.
The woman also alleged that the manager pressured her to enter into a physical relationship. The woman said she had initially approached the bank’s internal committee and human resources department for help, but no satisfactory action was taken. She alleged that the internal process was handled in a manner that favoured the accused manager. After failing to get relief through the bank, she approached the women’s police station and filed a formal complaint.
Police confirmed that a case had been registered in connection with the complaint and that an investigation was underway. The police are looking into the allegations and the circumstances surrounding the incident. Further action will be taken on the findings of the investigation.
