The chairman of Powertrac group of companies, Kishorsinh Zala, has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman from November 2023 to May 2024 with false promises of a prominent position in the firm and marriage. A complaint has been filed against Zala in this regard.
A 43-year-old woman from Vadodara has alleged that Zala contacted her through Facebook Messenger. After requesting her phone number, he continued interacting with her on WhatsApp.
Despite the woman’s request to keep the discussions professional, Zala later proposed marriage, stating that he was unhappy with his current marriage. The woman alleged that he also promised her a director’s position in the company and assured her that together they would take the company to new heights.
The woman was then invited to Powertrac’s office on SG Highway in Ahmedabad, where she was offered the director’s position. As per the complaint, Zala promised marriage and then got physical with her in his office.
A few days later, the woman was asked to visit the company’s factory in Surendranagar. During this visit, Zala informed her that he needed to travel to Delhi and would discuss their future later.
He instructed his manager to give her a tour of the company, retracted his previous promises of marriage, and said their relationship would remain professional. Despite this, he assured her that she would still be offered the director’s position.
