Rasila had been working with Infosys for the past eight months and on that fateful Sunday afternoon she was working in office to complete a project. Security guard Bhaben Saikiya has been arrested in suspicion of murder.

Rasila’s parents had refused to take her body from the Sassoon General Hospital  and had demanded that Infosys accepted that their daughter’s death was the company’s responsibility. A report in the Midday states that O Raju, the girl’s father insisted that she was the victim of the company's callousness and claimed that the company had agreed to pay a compensation of ₹ 1 crore.
