35. In February 2016, SHE Team cops in Cyberabad nabbed a 52-year-old director of a
banking and finance MNC, which has its office at Gachibowli financial district, for
willfully tarnishing the character of a senior woman colleague.
She was first bombarded with 'I love you' emails and when she did not respond
positively, the director started threatening her, saying he would ruin her career if
she did not fall in line and become 'friendly’.
Cornered, the victim reported the incident to the 'ethics committee' of the MNC.
However, the director then began spreading rumours in office and sending emails
and messages to colleagues in an attempt to tarnish the project manager's
reputation. He claimed that the woman had tried to seduce him to get a lucrative on-
site posting abroad and when he refused to fulfill her wish, she had lodged a false
complaint.
Perturbed, the victim lodged a complaint with the SHE teams. Their timely
investigation led to the arrest of the director by Raidurgam police. The accused was
later remanded in judicial custody

accused, the latter told her that he was harassing her as well.

had decided to end their lives if the police did not respond,“ the
ACP said.
