If there is no way out after this post then I have to end my life. there is no option left as I will not get my salary on 1st August If I opt for involuntary exit.

I request our government please help me and other employees from this toxic work culture. Byjus is doing fraud from all the sides including employees and customers . I WANT JUSTICE, KINDLY DO THE NEEDFUL.”
