Mumbai: The Maharashtra Nodal Cyber Police have registered a case after a 59-year-old senior vice president of a private company alleged that an unidentified person gained unauthorised access to his employee login ID and submitted a fake resignation through the company's online portal.

Fake resignation discovered on employee portal

According to the FIR, a Senior Vice President at Electronic Payment Services Pvt. Ltd., located at Supreme Business Park, Hiranandani Gardens, Powai. According to his complaint, the company uses the online portal eps.keka.com to maintain and update employee information. Ramanathan has an employee ID under the name ‘B R Nath’ on the portal.

On August 31, 2026, while logging into the portal from his residence in Powai for routine work, he noticed that his resignation had allegedly been submitted on August 26 and forwarded to the HR Manager/Global Administrator for approval. He maintained that he had neither tendered his resignation nor authorised anyone to submit it on his behalf.

Employee raises concerns with management

As the matter came to his notice on a Sunday, he did not take immediate action. On September 1, he approached the company's HR representative, Manpreet Kaur, and raised concerns over the resignation entry appearing on the portal despite him not having submitted any resignation.

The complainant alleged that no resolution was reached during their discussion and that the director told him he would be informed in accordance with company policy.
