Tripuraneni claims that his former company would bill clients illegally for workers who were brought from India and charged the clients for taxes more than the legal charge. This lawsuit is the second of its kind. Another employee from the U.S. filed a lawsuit claiming retaliation after he said the company was misusing U.S. B1 visas.

The lawsuit is scheduled to hit trial on August 20 and the company continues to deny any illegal activities.
