NEW DELHI (Diya TV) — Maharashtra Police have taken Nida Khan, one of the accused in the Nashik TCS conversion case, into custody from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The case involves allegations of sexual harassment and forced religious conversion at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), one of India’s largest IT companies. Police said Khan was wanted in connection with an ongoing investigation linked to complaints filed by women employees. Authorities confirmed that teams from Nashik Police detained her in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and brought her into custody for further legal proceedings.
According to the First Information Report (FIR), Khan allegedly advised women employees to “dress and behave in accordance with Islamic traditions.” The complaint also included accusations of sexual harassment and attempts at religious conversion. Officials have not released complete details about the evidence collected so far. Police also have not shared whether more arrests could follow in the coming days.
Before her detention, Khan had approached the court seeking anticipatory bail. She reportedly cited her pregnancy while requesting protection from arrest. However, the court rejected her plea, allowing police to continue with custodial action as part of the investigation. After the court order, police teams intensified efforts to locate her.
Investigators continue to examine claims made by complainants and review statements from individuals connected to the case. Police officials said the investigation remains active and additional legal action may follow based on the findings.
The focus of the investigation currently remains on the accused individuals named in the FIR. The company has also not issued a detailed public response regarding the latest custody action involving Khan.
After taking Khan into custody, police are expected to present her before a court and seek further legal directions. Investigators may request custody for questioning if they believe additional interrogation is necessary. The Nashik Police statement indicated that further legal procedures are already underway.
