The Vasai police had registered an FIR for section 306(abetment to suicide) against Sharma who resides in Jamshedpur and is employed in the company's corporate communication department too. Deshpande (57) had quit his post this April and was found dead at his Vasai residence near Mumbai, in June.
The FIR accused Sharma of having a role to play in harassing Deshpande at work especially after a cover story had been published in a leading business magazine about the company. Sharma said the death occurred more than a month after Deshpande had left his job and he had not instigated the suicide.
The court after hearing Sharma's counsel Aabad Ponda and Samsher Garud in his pre-arrest bail plea, said that prima facie it appears that no case of abetment is made out at this stage in the FIR and granted him protection from arrest till the matter is heard on December 4.
Sharma said he had joined the company in 1988 and his work had led to his current position as Head Corporate Affairs (Jharkhand & Chattisgarh). He said he worked with his senior colleague Deshpande like a professional colleague would. Deshpande, was a journalist for three decades before hemoved to the corporate sector and eventually joined Tata Steel last May, said Sharma. He was on probation for six months as was the norm at the end of which his probation was extended conditionally as his ''performance was not satisfactory'' the company had informed him, said Sharma's plea.
The FIR however alleged that that Sharma barred Deshpande from speaking with local journalists and hence he was ''completely frustrated at every step by non cooperation of his own team especially the Applicant (Sharma).''
Sharma said not only is he ''innocent'' but alleged in turn that the ''entire complaint is apparently motivated to try to defame a leading Industrial House with ulterior motive...''.
Sharma that Deshpande was ''pulled up for the magazine article'' which was written by the complainant. He said Deshpande's death cannot be linked to him or any member of the company.
