Dear Sir/ Madam,
On 24th July, I joined a startup company in kolkata. Initially they promised good career benefits which impressed me to work well in the company. However the company made me sit ideal for around 1.5 months without any work and lots of meetings without any agenda. Later they had a project which I worked as a process lead. The CEO of the company asked my team to sell call center voip minutes by calling small bpo all over India. They asked my team to call customers from our own mobile phone to which I refused that we wont call anyone from our personal number. They didnt even had the ISP and OSP license which is required to sell call center Voip minutes. I was getting mentally harrassed by the company CEO and Chairman to start calling from our own phones. On the other side my teammates were scared as it was turning out to be a wrong process. I decided to come out of it and resigned on 6th Oct 2017 but the CEO after discussion didnt accept the resignation. Unfortunately I sent the mail to ceo abd hr team from my official mail id and didnt keep a copy of the letter with me. I tried to give a week more to the company to see what happens but things were getting worse. I left the company without informing anyone as it was hampering my mental peace and my family aswell. After a week I met the Chairman at his office and informed him that I dont want to continue and left. After 2.5 months the company has sent me a letter stating that I have 5000 data of the company in my custody and return it else they would take legal action. They have sent similar email to all the senior employess whi have left the organisation even though employees left with proper notice and clearance certificate. The letter that the hr team has sent me doesnt hold any signature or company stamp neither the ceo or chaurman is marked. Please advise what action do I take and what reply do I give to them.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully
