The alleged sexual harassment at TCS Nashik came to light when a woman complained that a man started a relationship with her on the pretext of marriage.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday (April 17) promised to bust the module involved in the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) forcible conversion and sexual harassment and case in Nashik. Speaking to reporters, Fadnavis thanked the company for cooperating in the ongoing investigation.
"It is a serious issue, done by a module. We will bust the module. We are also taking help from central agencies," Fadnavis said.
The alleged sexual harassment at TCS Nashik came to light when a woman complained that a man started a relationship with her on the pretext of marriage. This opened up a Pandora's Box as more women came forward with sexual harassment allegations. Women said that the accused touched them inappropriately and said obscene things. The incidents happened between February 2022 and March 2026.
The incident is under investigation, and the company’s HR manager, Nida Khan, has been named as one of the key accused and has reportedly gone into hiding.
The ongoing investigation is also probing complaints of forcing women into religious conversion after entering relationships with them.
Several women have claimed that they informed Nida about the sexual harassment and misconduct happening at the office, but instead of taking action, she discouraged them from officially escalating the matter. This has led to concerns that the HR, who were supposed to protect the women, ignored the grave issue and tried to suppress it. FIRs have been filed at the Mumbai Naka and Deolali Camp police stations. Why Nida Khan avoided taking action against any complaint is being investigated.
