The screen froze and Reddy Sir spoke... "Is this true Rajeev". It sound like a statement rather than a question.
"I... I do not know what.... is this sir". I turned around to look at the 3 gentlemen. I could feel the stares of the rest of the team stinging on to me.
"LIAR. BASTARD". Said Chaddha. "You sold the TEGO account for 10 lakh rupees to Cresent??. WHY? TELL ME YOU SON OF A BITCH, WHY?".
"But I did not. These emails aren't sent by me at all. This is fabricated". I exclaimed. I knew I was in deep trouble and no one believed me at all. I knew my job here was gone. But I wasn't prepared for what happened next.
Before I knew it, two gentlemen from security came in and I was asked to be escorted out of the building. I was told that my services are no longer required and that I was to be taken to the nearest security officer station by the company security representatives. They also told me that they did not owe me anything due to this termination as per the terms in my appointment letter.
The earth slipped under my feet.
I was escorted out, the entire office apparently knew about the incident. I saw some shocked faces, some sympathetic and some smirking in complete hatred as if I was a criminal they made me out to be.
I requested one of the guys from the security to let me gather my stuff from the desk. My bag, my MP3 player and other stuff. he told me everything will be delivered to me at my residence address on file. I was walked out of the building into a waiting company car. Both the security personnel sitting on either side of me. We waited.
The shock of what happened wore down on me and I had a lump in my throat. Too many questions were in my head.. what happened? Why? What now? What will happen to me now? How do I get out of this.
The front passenger side door of the car opened and a guy from HR that I knew well, sat. We headed towards the nearest security officer station where I was deposited to the waiting sub inspector and the other cops.
So the cops knew about this, were waiting and prepared for me.
At the security officer station I really felt like a criminal.
The questioning took a few hours where they made asked me several times why I did it and where is the money i received. All the while I denied everything. I guess they must have ran out of patience and told me to confess to the corporate crime - Data Theft (apparently) or they will pin all the related IPC Sections on to me for the crime and arrest me. Which they were asked to do by my company. But before arresting me, I guess they had some doubt in their minds and they asked me to call someone from my home or anyone I knew who they could speak with.
I requested for at least 3 calls, in case I wasn't able to get through to the person I wanted to call. They reluctantly agreed.
Important to note here is that during my questioning at the security officer station none of the company security personnel nor the HR colleague was present. They had just deposited me there and left, never to return.
I called my father who was shocked to hear what I had to say, but then calmed down and took control of the call. he told me to remain calm and that he would send someone over to get me out of there immediately. He was an army officer, he did not panic in situations like these. he was resourceful, he knew people. he would get me out.
He took the details of the security officer station from me and disconnected the call. Now the long wait for whoever was supposed to come to rescue me from this nightmare.
