Overview

• The Infopark police registered an FIR on August 5 against CEO Venu Gopalakrishnan and three employees after recording a former staffer’s statement.
• The complaint invokes Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections on criminal intimidation, modesty offences, sexual harassment and common intention alongside IT Act Section 66D for cheating by personation.
• On July 30 Ernakulam Central Police arrested Krishna Raj and his wife on honey-trap extortion charges but granted them bail the same day.
• The Chief Judicial Magistrate Court criticized the initial arrest for proceeding without proper inquiry into digital evidence.
• Investigators plan to coordinate both probes and are examining the seized mobile phone for forensic clues after the woman alleged the extortion complaint was fabricated.
