Kerala Marketing Firm Investigated Over Alleged Workplace Harassment

Authorities are probing claims of degrading punishments for underperforming employees as conflicting narratives emerge about the incident.

A Kerala marketing firm is accused of forcing underperforming employees to crawl on their knees and lick coins as punishment.
The Kerala Labour Department, Human Rights Commission, and Youth Commission have launched investigations into the allegations.
The firm's owner denies the claims, suggesting the incident may have occurred at a separate company marketing their products.
Some employees and the man seen in the video allege the footage was staged to settle internal disputes, adding complexity to the case.
Police have not received formal complaints but are conducting inquiries as public outrage and scrutiny over workplace ethics grow.
