The company had suspended him while the investigation into the harassment allegations was under way. Circle Officer, Greater Noida 1st, Nishank Sharma said a first information report (FIR) was registered at the Surajpur police station on Thursday evening on a complaint by the wife of Raj, who has accused some of the Genpact officials of abetting the suicide under Indian Penal Code section 306. The body of Swaroop Raj, 35, was discovered hanging from the ceiling fan by his wife at their residence in a high-rise building in Sector 137 on Wednesday and a purported suicide note was recovered from the scene.
