The complainant had also approached the police with her complaint but it was directed it to Nagpur divisional commissioner. In her complaint letter, the woman has alleged that Mundhe “talked down to her in a derogatory manner” after she refused to act on a task that allegedly violated norms.

According to the woman’s complaint, she was appointed chief knowledge officer in February 2019, and her one-year contract was renewed. Last month, however, she was allegedly asked to resign due to “unfavourable” appraisal of work, but she refused. Her services were, however, allegedly terminated.
