After he saw the Reddit posts, Tata Technologies HR director Patrick Flood discussed his company’s wish to have Mr Denli’s new employment terminated with JLR’s HR director and board member Dave Williams.

Mr Flood told Mr Williams that Tata Group’s client VinFast had conducted its own investigation and identified Mr Denli as the author of the Reddit posts: “The concern is if he has done this now, he could do the same at JLR.”

The same day he was sacked, Mr Denli was blacklisted on industry recruitment platform Magnit, which told JLR he had been “red-flagged” so any applications from him for other work via the platform would be automatically declined.

BBC is doing a good job - the names of corrupt individuals will be exposed permanently. They deserve a bit more, though, but I hope courts can give them that. In an ideal world, maybe even Tata Group will improve its organizational culture…

Mr. Denli sounds like a person whom one should hire if one wants to know that a product won’t fall apart.

I’m so used to the word “whistleblower” being Infront of the words “found dead”.

What a happy surprise this title was, for now.

I don’t understand why whistleblowers are blacklisted. I thought rivals would love to snap them up because they have deep knowledge of competitor designs

Hazar Denli is a hero and deserves to be treated as such. I thought it was supposed to be illegal to act against whistle blowers?
