PUNE: The
police, in an advisory released for software companies in the city on
Wednesday, has recommended a "buddy system" to ensure that no woman
staffer works alone, continuous monitoring of CCTV footage and checking the
emotional condition of staffers, including security guards.
The advisory, which is not legally binding, comes in the wake
of the brutal murder of Infosys software engineer Rasila Raju OP on the
company's campus in Hinjewadi on January 29. A security guard has been arrested
in connection with the murder.
The police have prima facie found various lapses in the
security measures adopted by the company, which include the fact that Rasila
was working alone in the offshore development centre (ODC) room where she was
murdered and non-monitoring of the CCTV footage.
Pune has more than 125 IT and IT-enabled service companies
spread across the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park at Hinjewadi and the IT corridor
at Kharadi off the Pune-Ahmednagar road, besides smaller IT parks at Talawade,
Aundh and Wakad, among other areas.
The advisory also suggests that no woman employee should be
picked up first or dropped last in the cabs provided by the companies. It also
advises a background check of the security guards at the companies.
