Delhi BPO:  Refuses to deny sex harassment charges
By Dharmendra

According to the NE Support Centre, a manager of a New Delhi Call Centre made sexual advances to two young women from North East India, and then stopped their salary and suspended them from work when they resisted his overtures. The victims had complained to the NE Support Centre & Helpline.
 
NE Support Centre & Helpline’s initial investigations showed that the two women from Nagaland, aged about 23, were employed by Accurate Business Processing Outsourcing (BPO), Green Park Extension, New Delhi on September 4, 2007.
 
The manager of Accurate BPO allegedly made sexual advances to one of them, repeatedly asking her to accompany him on many occasions.
 
The young woman refused. The manager then allegedly turned to her friend. She too refused to fall in the trap.
 
He allegedly retaliated by stopping the transport pick up service to bring them to office and dropping them to the house they had rented in Safdarjang from October 12, 2007 onward. The women were forced to find their transport home late at night.
 
They told the NE Support Centre & Helpline that the manager abused them in the office and told them not to attend the office any more. The salary for the month of September has also been denied to the victims.
 
NE Support Centre & Helpline has no response from the Call Centre.
