Group of women employees levels sexual harassment charge against Infy executive

A group of women employees at Infosys, India's second largest information technology (IT) services company, has brought charges of sexual harassment against a senior executive of the company. In a mail sent from an unidentified email ID, they said the board of directors was "hushing up the whole case", though the charges are serious.

Commenting on the charges, an Infosys spokesperson said: "We take every sexual harassment complaint very seriously and each case is thoroughly and expeditiously investigated. Swift and appropriate actions are taken in all such cases. Keeping in view the privacy aspects we do not share particulars of individual cases." The spokesperson said the company prided itself on the diversity of its workforce and an equal opportunity work environment for its employees.
