  • Infosys co-founder Kris Gopalakrishnan, along with 17 others, has been implicated under the SC/ST Atrocities Act in Karnataka following a complaint by Durgappa, a former IISc faculty member. Durgappa alleges wrongful dismissal and caste-based abuse.

The article from MSN discusses a legal case in Karnataka where Infosys co-founder and former CEO Kris Gopalakrishnan, along with 17 others, have been booked under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The case stems from a complaint by a Dalit family who alleges that their land was encroached upon by a real estate company, M/s Rama Priya Apartments, where Gopalakrishnan and others are involved. The family claims that despite having legal documents proving their ownership, the land was illegally occupied, and they were subjected to caste-based discrimination and harassment. The FIR was lodged at the Basavanagudi police station in Bengaluru, and the accused include not only Gopalakrishnan but also other high-profile individuals like former Karnataka Chief Secretary Ratnaprabha, and several retired IAS officers. The case highlights issues of land rights, caste discrimination, and the misuse of power by influential figures.
