The post saw a lot of replies from users, who offered suggestions of the next steps that can be taken.

"Raise it on LinkedIn. Tagging higher officials of Tata group. (Not only TCS). All this act is against, Tata code of conduct. Spread this like a wild fire on x, LinkedIn and other social media platforms," one user wrote.

"Raise this issue with TCS ethics committee. They will definitely look into this. When I was in TCS ILP I remember there was an altercation between the faculty and one of the associate from our batch. The faculty told the associate that they will fail him in the finals and they did. He reported them to ethics committee and a team came to ILP center to investigate. The associate was later passed," another user wrote.
