APMC Official Apologizes, Harassment Dispute Resolved
A woman working for the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) in Karnataka said a boss harassed her.
Other women protested and demanded action.
The boss said he didn't do it.
They met with police and talked.
The boss apologized, and the women accepted his apology.
They decided not to take the matter further because the boss has a family to support and could lose his job.
The police were there, but it's not clear if any official complaint is still pending.
A group of women protested at the APMC office in Mangaluru, demanding action against Secretary C.H. Mohan for alleged harassment of a contractual employee.
The dispute was resolved after Mohan apologized to the woman employee during a meeting at the Panambur police station.
The women's group, led by Pratibha Kulai, accepted the apology on humanitarian grounds, considering Mohan's family situation.
Mohan had denied the allegations during the confrontation at his office.
It is unclear whether any formal complaint remains pending following the settlement.
