Dear Arunraj,
Do not act in haste over matters pertaining to POSHAW! You need to carefully examine what is written in the complaints; if it narrates a particular incident that happened; you may take it as a formal complaint and let the IC investigate the matter.
However, if the complaints are only naming one person; you may want to keep a strict eye on that person. A complaint without an incident can not be accepted as a complaint.

First and foremost, you need to have an Internal Committee in your organization. Handover this issue to the IC and let them investigate; however a major part of any complaint is an "incident"!

Dear colleague,
You can not proceed further unless the complaint giving full facts like date, time place of incident and what is the nature of sexual harassment is received from the complainant.
It is futile to take any view at this stage when facts are unknown.

The mere receipt of complaints against one from many on regular basis is definitely a matter of concern. As per you all the complaints are of annonymous nature, which you can not take as proof/ evidence for initiating discipliniary action under POSH. Now the duty of Hr department is to bring this information to the notice of MD/CEO/ICC of your establishment, and seek their advice. In the mean time HOD-HR call the employee in person to meet and appraise about the compalints received against his name & provide the copies of the comaplaint to that employee to submit his views over the topic. You need to conduct a secret inquiry at your level to know the facts,figure & truthfulness in those complaints. Call the victimised employee to your office for a discussion,if the name is known to you.
The action can only be intiated aginst the employee after you have sufficient clues,proof & information on misconduct under SH at work place. You can terminate that employee after conducting an inqiry but complainant should come forward because her testimony will be weapon to act upon. Now to create awareness and building of confidence you come out with a circular: that management is serious to act extreme aginst the culprit on identity of the complainnant and names shall be kept secret.

The general principle is that no action could be initiated against a person based on anonymous or pseudonymous complaint.
