Rape Case In A Chennai Bpo
Few days ago a call centre crime took place in Chennai, exposing an alleged rape attempt by a call centre trainer, has once again brought to the fore the fact that all is not well with this 24×7 employment environment. Considering the number of educated girls finding employment in Business Process Outsourcings (BPOs), incidents like these may not raise many eyebrows. Still, it is worth noting here that something is fishy in this professional sphere.
The first story that was aired on SUN TV and NDTV went on like this: A 27-year-old call centre trainer with a prominent call centre in Chennai is reported to have lured a 25-year old colleague to his friend’s place and managed to drug her by offering her a drink mixed with date rape drug. The police officer in-charge said that the girl woke up the following day only to find herself sexually assaulted. She then lodged a complaint and the boy was arrested. And later he confessed that he did what she had said in the complaint. A video footage of the boy was also shown: An emotional boy in a bad shape and he was weeping like anything.
One of this writer’s associates met this boy in custody and took stock of the whole incident. The story goes like this: The girl in question is one of not-so-good-conduct and had been going out with this boy for quite some time, and on this particular day, as usual they were together for long, till 11 pm. They together went to the boy’s place and they drugged themselves, and both fell asleep on the same bed.
The following day she woke up, surprised, because she was to go back to her hostel the previous day. Somehow, she managed to get back to her hostel the same morning, but the hostel authorities denied entry and asked her to bring her parents. With no other way out, she described the whole story to her parents. They, having had a lot of trouble with this girl’s lifestyle, found an opportunity in this boy. They deliberately framed a case and cornered him. Full News
