Noida Workplace Uproar: Employee Alleges Assault Over Severance Inquiry

An ex-employee from a Noida private firm has accused the Human Resources team of physically assaulting him following his inquiry about severance pay. The alleged incident occurred on September 19 at the company's premises, leading him to recount the ordeal on Reddit.

The man's social media post prompted discussions on workplace rights, with the affected employee claiming termination without cause and denial of severance. The online post further detailed that during a meeting with HR, he was told to pursue the matter elsewhere. A confrontation ensued as he recorded the meeting, resulting in a physical altercation where his phone was allegedly seized, and he was restrained.

He reported the incident to the Sector-168 police post, providing video evidence. Despite the police request, HR representatives have yet to cooperate. Social media users have advised him on potential legal recourse, including making the incident's video public and pursuing court action.
