Pune, June 13 -- Three individuals, including two Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Pune, employees, have been booked for alleged abetment to suicide following the death of a 48-year-old employee of the company. According to the police, the incident occurred on June 2, when the victim, who was employed with the company for over ten years, allegedly died by suicide by hanging himself in his residence.

They have been booked under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Sections 108 (abetment of suicide) and 3(5) (criminal acts done by several persons with shared objective). The family has accused the suspects of subjecting the victim to prolonged mental harassment that pushed him to take the extreme step. The suicide note recovered by the police names TCS staffers Archana and Shashwati, one of whom was the victim's reporting manager, for harassing him at the workplace, accusing them of repeatedly humiliating him in front of other colleagues, depriving him of favourable work assignments, and not providing leave when his wife was suffering from cancer.
