Mental Harrasment

Dear Client,

In terms of workplace harassment, one must know that continuous abusive speech creates a toxic working environment. You should try to solve the situation first by submitting a complaint to the Human Resource department, as it is regulated by the company’s internal policies. In case the harassment you experienced was related to your gender, it could invoke the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (POSH) Act, 2013, which obligates a person to bring the issue to the Internal Committee’s attention. Finally, severe abuse might even entail criminal responsibility under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) of 2023. The best idea is to collect the evidence of the wrongdoing you suffered and consult an attorney.

I hope this answer helps. If you have any further query kindly do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you
