Ahmedabad : A 30-year-old woman has lodged a complaint with Ghatlodia police alleging that an NGO failed to pay her salary and house rent amounting to Rs 2.1 lakh and that its founder and his wife threatened to kill her when she sought payment of the dues.
The woman worked as the NGO’s CSR head from June to Aug 2026, according to the complaint. She stated that she had been promised a monthly salary of Rs 60,000 along with Rs 12,000 per month towards house rent. On Aug 17, he allegedly handed her a cheque for Rs 1.7 lakh at a cafe in a city mall in the presence of her fiance. However, when she deposited the cheque on Aug 20, it bounced, the complaint states. She alleged that the founder subsequently assured her that the outstanding salary would be transferred within 48 hours but failed to do so. She then sent a legal notice through her lawyer on Sept 3. She contacted the founder again on Sept 18 seeking payment of the pending amount, according to the complaint.
The complainant said the founder repeatedly postponed payment on various pretexts despite several reminders. The NGO is engaged in education, women’s empowerment and mental health initiatives, she alleged. During the conversation, he allegedly refused to clear the dues and challenged her to take any action she deemed fit. She further alleged that his wife joined the conversation on speakerphone and that both abused her and threatened to send men to assault and kill her.
The woman claimed she had been under mental stress for the past three months due to the dispute.
