Walk On Knees, Lick Coins: Firm’s Punishment For Underperforming Employees

A private marketing firm here has been accused of subjecting its underperforming employees to degrading treatment, including making them walk on their knees like chained dogs and lick coins from the floor.

The state Labour department has ordered a probe into the alleged inhuman workplace harassment after the disturbing visuals were aired by local television channels.

As the issue came to the light, state Labour Minister V Sivankutty ordered an inquiry into the undated incident and instructed the district labour officer to submit an immediate report on the incident.

The visuals purportedly showed a person using a leash to force a man to crawl on his knees on the floor, resembling a dog.

Later, some employees told a TV channel that those who fail to achieve targets were subjected to such punishments by the management of the firm.

According to police, the incident allegedly took place in connection with a private marketing firm functioning in Kaloor and the crime allegedly occurred at nearby Perumbavoor.

The police told reporters that they haven’t received any complaint, and the owner denied the allegations.

Quoting the owner of the firm, they said the alleged harassment might have taken place in a firm in Perumbavoor, which used to market and sell the products of the establishment in Kaloor.

“No case has been registered so far, and an investigation is underway,” an officer said.

Labour Minister Sivankutty termed the visuals “shocking and disturbing” and said it cannot be accepted at any cost in a state like Kerala.

“I have ordered a probe into the incident and instructed the district Labour officer to submit a report in connection with the incident after carrying out a probe,” he told the media.

Later in the day, the State Human Rights Commission registered a case into the incident based on a complaint filed by High Court lawyer Kulathoor Jaisingh.

Meanwhile, the Kerala State Youth Commission also intervened and registered a case on its own into the alleged harassment incident.

The panel directed the District Police Chief to submit a report in this regard.

In a statement, Commission Chairman M Shajar said legal action should be taken against such practices that are unacceptable in a civilised and democratic society.

“As a civilised society, we should collectively respond against such anti-social trends,” he said.
