Dear Tarranum,
Your query is incomplete in so far as you have not mentined whether your organisation is a Government organisation, a PSU, a public limited company or a private (ownership/ partnership) trade house.
If yours is a Government office or a PSU there is a clear provision for a disciplinary action in the CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 taking it as a misconduct in case of the Central Government Offices or some PSUs who have adopted the said Rules, or the respective Conduct and Dicipline Rules of the PSUs. If your organisation is a State Government organisation the Conduct and Discipline Rules of the concerned State may be applicable. If your organiation is a Public Limited Company, Concuct and Discipline Rules, if any framed by that company would be applicable. If the company has not framed any such Rules, the only way is just to make a formal compalint to the competent higher authority over and above the misbehaving seniors and watch for the result.
However, in all such cases, the harassed employee must make a formal complaint. But, if the competent authority does not take any action against the culprit, a Government/PSU employee can make a formal complaint direct to the Central Vigilance Commision.
In all other cases if the competent authority does not take any action, the employee, if she decides so, can lodge a complaint with the Police.
However, if you can make it clear to which organization (Govt./PSU/Other company, etc), I can advise you suitably on the basis of my practical vigilance experience of 27 years. You can, if liked, contact me at: [psd1941@yahoo.co.uk] with complete details of the case for proper guidance.
