Srinagar: A private bank in Kerala terminated its employees for posting an objectionable comment on social media about the eight-year-old girl in Kathua who was gang-raped and murdered last month, Indian express reported.
A report published in Indian Express said that Vishnu Nandakumar, who works as an assistant manager with Kotak Mahindra Bank’s Palarivattom branch in Kochi, expressed happiness at the little child’s death saying, “It’s good that she has been killed. Otherwise, tomorrow, she might turn against India as a human bomb.”
The bank earlier on Friday announced on Facebook: “We have terminated Vishnu Nandakumar from the services of the bank on Wednesday, April 11, 2018, for poor performance. It is extremely disheartening to see such comments being made in the aftermath of such tragedy by anyone including an ex-employee. We strongly condemn this statement,” the report mentioned.
The official Facebook profile of the bank was heavily down-rated by users within hours of Nandakumar’s comment and what seemed like the bank’s initial reluctance to act against him. However, a bank official told a television news channel that when the management heard about the incident, it took action against him the very same day, reported Indian Express.
