A case has reportedly been registered against the human resources (HR) manager of a food and beverage service firm operating at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport for allegedly sexually harassing a 26-year-old woman employee, police said on Monday.
The HR manager then allegedly stripped himself and exposed his private parts while pressuring the woman to do the same. She subsequently informed her friends about what had happened and sought their advice, the FIR stated.
