Sadaf Fatima died in office after she fell off her chair inside HDFC Bank’s premises. She was rushed to a nearby hospital but was declared dead.
A woman employee of HDFC Bank in Lucknow allegedly died due to work pressure on Tuesday, days after a similar incident involving an Ernst & Young employee in Pune, News18 reported.
The employee identified as Sadaf Fatima was posted as additional deputy vice-president at HDFC Bank’s Vibuti Khand branch in Gomti Nagar. The News18 report claimed that Fatima died in office after she fell off her chair inside bank premises, quoting unnamed colleagues. She was rushed to a nearby hospital but was declared dead and her body was sent to undergo a postmortem.
Reacting to the incident, Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav said the work pressure and stress has become the same everywhere from government to private jobs and people are working out of ‘compulsion’.
“The condition of employed people has become worse than bonded labourers because they do not even have the right to speak. Government is there to solve problems, not to give baseless suggestions,” Akhilesh Yadav posted X.
