The complainant guaranteed that her trial went on for the full residency of her term at ScoopWhoop and that Pandey verbally pestered her with ‘wrong remarks and comments‘. Not only that, as indicated by the FIR documented, the blamed even went similar to remarking on the complainant’s sexuality.
Complainant says in her FIR, “Mr. Suparn Pandey in public commented on my sexuality and this comment included calling me names (sic.) which reflected on my sexual orientation and my sexual preferences (sic.) as well as characterised me in a certain way“.
The complainant attempted to convey this matter to other co-founder who herself is a woman, Sriparna Tikekar’s notice who guaranteed her that such conduct won’t happen again. Yet, on the other hand, no move was made against Pandey which just gave him more slack to hassle the complainant encourage.
The report likewise states, “Under different affections, Pandey over and again got awkwardly close, frequently attempting to play with her hair. Pandey was even sufficiently shameless to supposedly send her a salacious video on the organization’s legitimate Gmail talk.
