Sexual discrimination lawsuit filed by two women, one who worked in human resources, includes allegations of H-1B fraud

Computerworld - A former human resources manager at Larsen & Toubro InfoTech Limited Inc., a leading India-based IT services firm, accused the company of visa fraud in a complaint filed this week in a federal court in New Jersey.

Mumbai-based Larsen & Toubro is a major user of H-1B visas, ranking fifth last year on the list of largest visa users. The company had 1,608 visa approvals in 2011, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service.

The former employee, Nanda Pai, also accuses the company of sexual discrimination, and alleges sexist behavior by some of its employees in the suit.

Pai's lawsuit joins a class action lawsuit filed earlier by another female ex-employee with a similar discrimination allegation. The class action suit seeks "not less than $100 million."
