Focused on assisting police with investigation: Infosys on female employee murder

In an official statement, Infosys on murder of their 25-year-old woman employee said they are focused on assisting the police with the investigation and providing all possible support to the deceased family.

"Saddened and shocked at unfortunate incident of the loss of our colleague. Our prayers and sympathies are with our employee's family and friends," Infosys said in a statement.

"Focused on assisting police with investigation and providing all possible support to her family," the statement added.

A 25-year-old woman software engineer from Kerala, who worked with Infosys, was found murdered at the software firm's Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park office in the Hinjawadi area of Pune yesterday.

She had allegedly been strangled to death by an unidentified person. A security guard working at the office has been detained by the police in connection with the case.

While cops are yet to ascertain what led to her murder, they have zeroed down on the prime suspect Bhaben Saikia, a 26-year-old from Assam who worked as a watchman in the office.
