An Indian-origin lawyer has been dismissed from her job in the United States due to an alleged "inappropriate workplace relationship" with the CEO of her company. Nabanita Nag, the Chief Legal Officer at Norfolk Southern Corporation in Atlanta, was terminated from her position after an investigation into claims that she had a consensual relationship with her boss, Alan Shaw, who was also fired as CEO. Despite the relationship being consensual, the two officials violated company policies and ethical standards by engaging in it, according to Norfolk Southern Corporation. The company stated that Shaw's departure was unrelated to the company's performance, financial reporting, or operations.

Nabanita Nag has described herself as a "seasoned leader" who has worked with three Fortune 300 public companies. She previously worked at Goldman Sachs and joined Norfolk Southern in 2020 as the General Counsel, before being appointed as the Chief Legal Officer in 2022 and the Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs in 2023. Mark R George, the company's Chief Financial Officer, has been appointed as the new president and CEO following the dismissal of the previous leadership.
