    OTPC sends VP, 4 others on leave over harassment plaint

    The vice president (VP) and a senior manager of ONGC Tripura Power Company (OTPC) are among five top-ranking officials who have been sent on "forced leave" following a complaint of sexual harassment by a former employee of the company, official sources said today. A five-member committee, headed by a woman executive officer, is examining the case, an OTPC official said. Here's more.

    Woman lodged police complaint, we apprised OTPC: Additional SP

    "A high-level inquiry has been initiated into the complaint leveled by the former woman employee. All five accused, including the vice president, have been sent on forced leave," the official confirmed. Nabadwip Jamatiya, the additional superintendent of police of Gomati district (where OTPC is based), said the woman had filed a complaint earlier this month, following which the company was apprised of the matter.

    Police asked authorities to remove the accused officials

    "We issued a letter to the authorities to tell them that the accused officials might influence the investigation if they weren't removed from their posts," Jamatiya said, adding that a probe is underway. Naru Gopal Deb, the officer-in-charge of Kakrabon police station, said the complainant had sent a mail to the district SP on November 3, following which a missive was sent to him.

    All five officials asked not to leave the state: Police

    "All five have been asked not to leave the state and have been barred from entering the OTPC office complex for now," Deb added. OTPC at Palatana, Gomati district, is a 726-megawatt thermal power plant, catering to the entire northeast region and also neighboring Bangladesh.
