Based on Indian laws, you may have a strong case for workplace harassment. You can seek legal action under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, and potentially the Indian Penal Code. To claim damages, you’ll need evidence of the harassment and the harm it caused, such as medical reports, witness statements, and documented instances of harassment. It’s highly recommended to consult with a lawyer specializing in employment law for advice and guidance.
