TCS Accused Nida Khan Remanded in Police Custody Until May 11
A Nashik court has remanded Nida Khan, an employee of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), to police custody until May 11 in connection with a high-profile case involving sexual harassment and alleged forced religious conversion at the company's Nashik unit. Khan was arrested in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Thursday after evading authorities since the allegations surfaced. The court accepted the police request for custodial interrogation to facilitate a thorough investigation, noting previous observations of a systematic plan to brainwash victims. This development is part of a broader probe by the Nashik police Special Investigation Team (SIT), which is examining nine cases of molestation and harassment at the TCS facility. Eight individuals, including a female operations manager, have already been arrested following the registration of multiple FIRs citing exploitation, mental harassment, and attempts at forceful conversion. TCS has responded by suspending the implicated employees and reaffirming its zero-tolerance policy towards harassment and coercion. The case has drawn significant attention due to the multi-dimensional nature of the offenses and the involvement of a major IT corporation.
