Ex-Wipro Pune Employee Alleges Religious Harassment and Coerced Resignation

Pune police have opened a cross-jurisdictional probe that Wipro says it is cooperating with.

Overview

  • The former employee, who went public on June 3, filed a complaint with Hinjawadi police and served Wipro a legal notice alleging repeated pressure to convert to Islam and that she was forced to resign in August 2025.
  • Her legal notice seeks cancellation of the resignation, reinstatement with continuity of service, Rs 50 lakh in compensation and a written apology and warns of civil, criminal and labour action if demands are not met.
  • Pune police confirmed receipt of the complaint, said investigators have invited implicated individuals for questioning and are coordinating with Bengaluru authorities because the accused supervisor is based there.
  • Wipro has issued a statement saying it has shared relevant documents with police, is cooperating with the probe and reiterates a zero-tolerance stance on misconduct and harassment.
  • The case arrives after high-profile allegations at a TCS Nashik unit and could prompt wider scrutiny of IT-sector grievance processes and how companies handle complaints about workplace coercion and religious harassment.
