Coimbatore: In a shocking allegation, a man has been allegedly assaulted by the management of a private company for allegedly possessing compromising videos of a female staff (his wife) which was shot by another employee and amicably settled, a few months ago. 

Manikandan (35) and Savitha (30) are from Kannappanagar, Coimbatore. They have been working for over 8 years in a petrol bunk owned by Roots Company in Eru company, Saibaba Colony. 

Three months ago, when Savitha was changing her clothes in the dressing room at the bunk, she left suspicious and felt someone was secretively videotaping her. And, she immediately informed her husband.



Her husband Manikandan later complained to the management about the incident and proved that Supervisor Subhash had videotaped her wife through his cell phone. 

The management enquired the issue and came to know that Subhash has videotaped Saritha while changing clothes through his cellphone. Later, the issue was later amicably settled between the two parties and the source files of the videos were supposedly deleted. 

Now, it was come to light that Manikandan had stored a copy of the video in his cellphone. It is alleged that after the management came to know that Manikandan holds a copy of the issue, few people from the management along with the Managing Director have assaulted Manikandan forcing him to delete the video. As Manikandan refused to delete the video, they have allegedly thrashed him. Manikandan who sustained severe injuries is presently undergoing treatment at Coimbatore Government Hospital. 

Commenting on the assault, Manikandan said, "I had stored the videos for evidence sake. Knowing that I still have the proof, Managing Director Kavidasan of Roots, PRO Saravanan, Manager Shankar Ganesh and few others brutally attacked me. They have also made a false complaint stating that I had stolen petrol from the bunk."
