In May, the woman filed a complaint stating that she works at the Raj Bhavan. She reported: “On 19.4.24, Governor sir told me to take some time out and meet him with my CV. On 24.04.2024, around 12:45 pm, he called me to his office room and, after some discussion, touched me. I managed to leave the office room. He called me again today, 02.05.2024. Fearing for my safety, I took my supervisor with me to the conference room. After they discussed work for a while, he asked the supervisor to leave. He prolonged the conversation by talking about my promotion and said he would call me at night, asking me not to tell anyone. When I refused, he tried to touch me again. I protested and left.”
