During the hearing, complainant’s lawyer Prasanna Kumar accused Ola Electric of mistreating staff and compared it to the “East India Company.” He said Aravind faced constant harassment and salary delays that pushed him into distress. Aravind’s brother, Ashwin Kannan, filed a police complaint against Aggarwal and other company officials.

Aggarwal’s counsel, M. S. Shyamsundar, said the case was wrongly filed. He argued it began as an Unnatural Death Report and should not have turned into an FIR. He claimed Ola cleared Aravind’s dues and said false allegations hurt the firm’s image.

Ola Electric stated that Aravind never reported harassment or grievances. The court directed police to investigate fairly without harassing the petitioners. It fixed the next hearing for November 17.

Sharma had dragged a 31-year-old technology recruiter into a nursing room on March 1, 2023, where he kissed her forcefully and made repeated sexual advances despite her resistance. The victim had met Sharma for the first time that evening after a colleague shared his profile.

Sharma denied the charges, claiming the woman consented and suggested going to the nursing room. The defence argued the encounter was voluntary but escalated after a remark about her breath. The court rejected this and described Sharma’s actions as “extremely high” in sexual exploitation.

The prosecution sought a sentence of at least four years and six strokes, which was accepted by the court. Sharma faced between two and ten years of imprisonment along with caning. His lawyer had requested a lighter sentence of three to three-and-a-half years with fewer strokes.
