A 45-year-old daily wage staffer at the Basavanagudi head post office has accused two senior officers, including a postmaster, of sacking her for rejecting their sexual advances. The woman filed a complaint against the two officers with the Basavanagudi police.
According to the woman, she was working in the processing division in the post office for the past two-and-a half years. She said for the past 15 days, her supervisor had been harassing her for turning down his sexual advances.
The woman said she brought the matter to the notice of the postmaster, but he, too, started harassing her and terminated her from service.
The Basavanagudi police have registered a case under IPC Section 354A (sexual harassment), and are investigating.
