RAW Sexual Harassment- Nisha Bhatia wins in CIC

Nisha Bhatia, a director in the country's top Intelligence Agency – RAW had complained of sexual harassment against her boss Sunil Uke , a customs officer on deputation to RAW. She had asked the RAW to supply her information on the report submitted by the Enquiry Committee. The Raw pleaded exemption. Sunil is back with Customs as Commissioner.

Though the CIC dismissed her present appeal, the CIC held that it will be open to appellant Ms. Nisha Priya Bhatia to move a fresh application before the CPIO RAW seeking information on the matters which she has now sought at the level of the second appeal.

The determined Ms. Bhatia has a long way to go.

Appeal No.CIC/WB/A/2009/00010 dated 6.1.2009
