Mangaluru: City police have filed two separate cases against two individuals who were found to have uploaded posts on social media with provocative content in connection with the recent murder of rowdy-sheeter Suhas Shetty in Bajpe.

City Police Commissioner Anupam Agrawal said that police officers found provocative and inflammatory content shared on the handles of two Instagram ‘profiles’, VHP Bhajarang Dal Ashoknagar and Shankhanada, as per a report in Deccan Herald. The posts included photographs of Shetty to give rise to communal disharmony and also unlawful activities.

The suspect was identified as Manish Kumar of Ashokangar. Urwa Police, who have registered a case, are interrogating Kumar.

In the second instance, a man, identified as Hasan Bava from Kinnipadavu in the city, was allegedly circulating a misleading narrative suggesting that Shetty was killed to cover another murder committed near Kudupu temple and masterminded by the associate of a legislator.

A WhatsApp group was also formed to spread this false narrative that the rowdy-sheeter was murdered with a political motive, with the BJP aiming at diverting public attention from mob lynching.

A case has been filed at Kavoor Police Station and Hasan Bava is under interrogation as a part of the investigation.

Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services on Friday said it has initiated a formal internal investigation into allegations linked to its Nashik unit and engaged independent external experts to ensure transparency in the process.

Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director K Krithivasan was quoted by The Observer Post as saying that the company has appointed Deloitte and Trilegal as independent counsel to support the probe. The internal investigation is being led by Aarthi Subramanian.

The company has constituted a supervisory committee chaired by independent director Keki Mistry, which will oversee the process. The committee will also review findings and monitor the implementation of recommendations.

Krithivasan said a preliminary review of the company’s internal systems and records had not revealed any complaints of the nature being alleged through its ethics or POSH channels.

He also clarified that an employee named in media reports, Nida Khan, was not part of the human resources function and did not hold any leadership role. He informed that she worked as a process associate.

The company has also rejected reports suggesting that operations at the Nashik facility had been suspended. It asserted that the unit continues to function without disruption with a zero-tolerance policy towards misconduct.
