**Headline:** Shocking Video Unveils Inhumane Treatment of Employees at Kerala Marketing Firm
A disturbing video has emerged, showcasing the inhumane treatment of underperforming employees at a private marketing firm in Kochi, Kerala. The footage depicts individuals being forced to walk on their knees like chained dogs as punishment for failing to meet their targets. This incident has raised serious concerns about workplace harassment and employee rights.
The video, recorded approximately four months ago, was allegedly filmed by a former manager who had conflicts with the company’s owner. He claimed that the humiliating acts were part of a training regimen for new employees. However, local police have labeled the video as misleading, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation.
In addition to the knee-walking punishment, another video surfaced showing employees being coerced into undressing as a form of discipline. Following the viral spread of these videos, the state Labour Department has initiated an inquiry into the alleged mistreatment, seeking a comprehensive report on the situation.
Witnesses, believed to be employees of the firm, have come forward, stating that those who fail to meet performance targets are subjected to such degrading punishments. The incidents reportedly took place at a marketing firm located in Kaloor, with the actual events occurring in nearby Perumbavoor.
In a surprising twist, the individual depicted in the videos as a victim later claimed to the media that there was no harassment at the firm. He stated, “I am still working in the firm. These visuals were from some months ago and were taken without consent by a former manager who was dismissed by the management.” He reiterated this statement to both police and labour department officials.
The state Labour Minister, V. Sivankutty, expressed his shock at the footage, labeling it “shocking and disturbing.” He emphasized that such behavior is unacceptable in a progressive state like Kerala and has ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.
The State Human Rights Commission has also taken notice, registering a case based on a complaint from a High Court lawyer. Meanwhile, the Kerala State Youth Commission has intervened, demanding a report from the district police chief regarding the alleged harassment.
In a statement, commission chairman M. Shajar asserted that legal action must be taken against such unacceptable practices in a civilized society.
