For 14 years, Mr Satpute, who was employed at SBI, commuted to his office in the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) by taking a local train from Navi Mumbai to Kurla, followed by a shared auto-rickshaw to BKC. However, on March 24, 2023, while on this usual route, he found himself in a predicament with a lady, who accused him of inappropriate touching.
Things escalated quickly when the lady got out of the auto and sprayed pepper spray in Satpute's eyes, and also lodged a police complaint against him. The lady, who worked as a chef, filed a complaint with her company's internal POSH committee. This committee then forwarded her complaint to Satpute's company (SBI).
