Sushi kiosk boss who WhatsApped colleague after midnight sued for harassment

Chef says the message sent in the early hours of a Saturday morning was a ‘deliberate attempt to disturb him’, an employment tribunal heard

A businessman was sued for harassment after he sent a WhatsApp message to a colleague after midnight.

Hemanta Mainali, a Waitrose sushi chef, was furious at being woken up in the early hours of a Saturday morning, an employment tribunal heard.

He claimed the message from Sumin Lohani had been sent directly to him – not within a group chat – and was a “deliberate attempt to disturb him” and even “encourage him to leave”.

He responded to Mr Lohani by saying it was “very wrong” to bother him at that time of night, replying to the message “Go f— yourself”.
