Hi all,
Legally what you can do is -
Suspend them forthwith to avoid disturbance to work process, in due time issue chargesheet and conduct enquiry to reveal truth what actually happened, because what you have heard may not be a complete truth. After getting the findings of the enquiry officer take decision as to what punishment would be appropriate for their respective misconducts, if at all proved. This procedure is mandatory under the Standing orders Act.
The other aspect to this is to create official record of what they might have done to get it handy if any of them repeats such conduct. If you don't create such past service record, the next time anyone commits such misconducts you cant legally consider their past record. This also affects moral of other good employees.
