Pune: The managing director of a private company in Pune has been arrested for allegedly sexually harassing and stalking a woman employee, a police official said today.
The industrial firm's top official, aged 58, was arrested on March 6 after a 34-year-old employee, in her police complaint, alleged that she received "objectionable" text and voice messages on her phone from the official and that she was being stalked by the 58-year-old managing director, Mundhwa police station's senior inspector Anil Patrudkar said.
