The complaint was filed by a senior woman employee of the bank and Jose Peter was suspended in June, following which he quit the organisation after an internal probe found truth in the allegations. He was accused of sexually harassing the employee and then intimidating her by reading out a confidential complaint submitted by her to the chairman at a meeting of managerial-level staff.

Explaining the reasons for the sabotage fear, sources close to the survivor said she was summoned to the police station by Sub Inspector Santhosh K S on November 24 to sign a document to be filed in the court.

In a letter to ADGP Manoj Abraham, the woman narrated the ordeal she faced at the police station.
