Woman raped inside Infosys Pune campus

A woman cashier on the Pune campus of Infosys, India’s second-largest IT services exporter, was allegedly raped by two security guards who worked there, police said on Tuesday. Both the accused have been arrested.

The woman lodged a complaint on Monday, saying the men raped her on Sunday evening at the office canteen, where she works as a cashier, after dragging her from the washroom when she went to change clothes at the end of her shift, police inspector Vishwajeet Khule told reporters on Tuesday.

While one of the two accused raped her inside the lavatory, the other filmed the act on his mobile phone, and threatened to make the clip public if she informed anyone about the incident, Khule added. Police have recovered the mobile phone used by the accused. The alleged incident took place at the Rajiv Gandhi IT Park, Pune campus of Infosys.

Infosys stated it was investigating the matter and working closely with police in its probe into the alleged incident, which involved the company’s contractual staff. “We have stringent security measures in place on all our campuses and have a zero-tolerance policy against sexual harassment which extends to our contractual staff as well,” the statement added.
