Dear Rupavathi,
The female employee had not given any written complaint. Anyway its clearly know to other employees that she has raised a complaint against the male employee. So now, there is no more secrecy about the complaint.
Now, my opinion is as below
1. We should never decide on an issue based on one side of the story.
2. It is possible that during the exchange of words, the female staff might have crossed the limit on the belief that "male employee cannot touch me".
3. Except for getting emotional the male employee might not have done anything wrong.
4. The male employee's intention might not be to beat the female employee but just to stop her from shouting the perceived nonsense talk.
So, there could be many hidden facts involved in this case.
Now, what can you do:
1. Call both the employees, talk to them face to face at the same time. There should not be separate talks with them. The reason is, when somebody speak in the presence of an third person/senior, they would behave their-selves and limit the lies.
2. Call a meeting of all employees including the manager and tell them strictly what should they do in future if similar incidence happens in future. Also give them strict warning that they should behave in an unbiased manner and shall not indulge in group politics.
