MUMBAI: A day after the state cabinet approved draft bills for strengthening laws on prevention of atrocities against women and children, a Shiv Sena Member of Parliament has been accused of sexual harassment at the workplace.
The 38-year-old complainant employed at a gas distribution agency on Friday filed a case of sexual harassment against her employer.
He denied the sexual harassment charges and told TOI the woman made the allegations after she and three staff were caught black-marketing LPG cylinders to the tune of more than Rs 1 crore. He said she was fired and a case was registered with police under Essential Commodities Act and IPC section 408 (criminal breach of trust by clerk or servant) on November 26.
