Noida: The Greater Noida police on Saturday lodged a complaint against Genpact and at least seven of its employees, after a senior executive accused of sexual misconduct committed suicide early this week.

The people named in the complaint have been accused of abetting suicide of the executive, Munish Chauhan, a police official, told Reuters.

Swaroop Raj, an Assistant Vice President at the firm, in a suicide note claimed that he was innocent and was driven to take his life. 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. In the suicide letter, he also wrote that the cases of molestation against him are baseless but he does not have the courage to face them.

Earlier, while talking to ABP News, Swarup Raj’s wife said that after an internal investigation in the case, the office had suspended him from the job. Kriti said “when I returned from work at night, the door was not open. When I was able to get inside saw Swarup hanging from the fan.” She further added “Girls have the right to accuse anyone and ruin their life. So today people do not keep female employee.”
