The infamous video involving TP Link officials that has recently gone viral (YouTube link Below) has churned much controversy in the IT market. The video shows the director of the China based provider of SOHO and SMB networking Products Bill Ye allegedly beating and threatening his warehouse employee. The complainant employee was protesting at TP-Link's Mumbai office for a salary raise.
Bill Ye has not only been allegedly accused for hitting and threatening his employee Sanjay Babalya, but also for reportedly using the racist statement ‘Bloody Indian’. Sanjay has filed NC against Bill Ye in Valiv Police Station, Mumbai and the police on their part have written the complaint for IPC Section 323, 504 and 506.
When quizzed on the same lines by The DQ Week, Bill Ye, Director, TP-Link said, “I have never used those words for anyone and also I had not beaten and threatened any employee. I went there just to know and understand the reason of the protest”.
Kunal Raul, Country Manager, TP-Link said, “We have relocated our warehouse and some of the warehouse employees were protesting for salary hike for relocating. Bill was urging those employees who were shooting the entire scene with mobile phones to stop. The issue was not that much big. TP-Link is working and doing well in Indian market and the issue has been raised just to take down the company’s image and reputation”.
Gaurav Rawool, Marketing Manager TP-Link added in the same breath, “No one has been beaten and threatened and also no racist word has been used by Bill. Lots of employees are working in the company from so long and we don’t have any hard feelings for the company”.
However, the police has not taken any action as of yet and the issue has been resolved as per the TP-Link officials.
