This query is : Resolved
I was working as DGM - Materials at BMM Ispat Limited, Hospet. Since October 2008 I was working with them. On 03.01.2012 I tendered my resignation from the company due to my personal reasons & I got the acknowledgement from Plant Director (my reporting officer)on the same day and as instructed by him I surrendered my office SIM and other documents to the concerned officer. On 11.01.2012 I talked to CGM - HR about my dues clearance as well as relieving letter from company. He replied that papers would be cleared within 2 to 3 days time. After that on 15.02.2012 I tried to talk to Plant Director but he did not receive my calls. Next day on 16.01.2012 his assistant told me that I should not call him over his official or personal mobile. In case of any need, I may contact his assistant. All of a sudden on 18.01.2012 I was called by local police station that company had complained about me on cheating case and I was physically taken to police station. Immediately I sent sms to Plant Director to help but he never responded. After seeing the documents I replied to the SI of the police station that the documents are false. I was kept till 11 pm at police station. Then I was asked to come next day for enquiry. On 19.01.2012 Company official GEO come along with some vendor n vendor told that he had bribed me in lakhs to favour him. Since I was not involved in that I denied the vendor statement. I was informed by GEO at police station that unless I tell the name of my reporting officer (Plant Director) I will not be spared. I was sent back at 10 pm on that day. Third day on 20.01.2012 the vendor told to SI that he did not give any bribe to me and the statement was false. Then SI told me to come next day. On 21.01.2012 Company GM told me once again to name Plant Director. If I tell his name immediately they will clear my dues which I refused. Then SI told me that he is going on leave on official duty and to come to station on 28.01.2012.Further on 27.01.2012 company GEO, GM, some other vendor along with SI come to my house at 7 pm and threatened me, collected 4 empty signed cheques from me and my bank account was blocked. Since it happened at my house and I was left with no choice. I agreed to their demands. Company GEO told that within 2 to 3 days they will issue my relieving letter.
In the meanwhile, Plant Director resigned his post and he is getting relieved within a week’s period.
I contacted CGM – HR on 04.02.2012 over mobile and he did not receive my call. Then I contacted company GEO and he replied that he will talk to CGM – HR on my relieving letter and let me know the same. On 05.02.2012 I contacted CGM – HR again over mobile and he replied that he was on leave the next day and told me to talk to him on 07.02.2012. On 07.02.2012 CGM – HR sms me that he was in Bangalore and asked me to come on Thursday (09.02.2012) to collect my relieving letter. I went to company on 09.02.2012 at 11 am and phoned him. He replied that he was busy that day and told me that he will inform me when to come for collecting the relieving letter in a harsh tone. Then I come back. Yesterday (23.02.2012) afternoon I sent an email requesting him to issue my relieving letter. I did not receive any reply from him. Today afternoon once again (01.20 pm) I phoned CGM – HR and he did not pick my phone. I requested him to clear my issue by sms.

You immediately engage a lawyer and issue a legal notice to the company and also initiate a criminal action against the officials of company as well as against those police officials who forcefully obtained your signature of blank papers and cheques,

As and when the signatures are taken, make a DD entry and then move court. It is a sestive issue and the same can be misused.

Is it a PSU?
If it is a PSU then bribery happens to be offence as per PC ACT and report is made at thana officer below DSP cannot be IO.
If it is not a PSU then no case is made under PC Act.
