According to media reports, in the suicide note the deceased has said that though the allegations are baseless, he feared the "entire Genpact will know about it, hence I do not have the courage to face anyone."

Raj joined Genpact in 2007. He and his wife, Kriti worked for the same firm.

Firstpost tried to contact Genpact offices at Noida, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Kolkata. No one was willing to comment on the case.
