According to police, an FIR under Section 66B of the Information Act has been registered at Mehrauli police station against Shweta Tyagi and Shaily Goel, who had served as designers for M/S Biba Apparels Pvt Ltd.
Jatin Gulati, the manager (legal) of Biba Apparels, has alleged in his complaint that both accused stole several designs during their employment with the company, which has its fashion stores across the globe.
Police said that after initial inquiries, it was found that during their employment with the company, both designers transfered several designs from their official emails to their private emails, which amounts to theft of data.
"We will soon arrest both designers and further inquiry is on in the matter," said a senior police officer.
Gulati has alleged that both accused joined hands with a rival company.
Further, the duo are alleged to have divulged confidential information related to the company's organisation, finances, technology, etc. And compromised software and databases covering its business activities, which they had access to during their employment with Biba.
Gulati said that Tyagi and Goel had resigned from the company in, respectively, June and July last year.
