Overview
- The Nashik Special Investigation Team filed a 1,500‑page chargesheet on May 22 that names Danish Ejaz Shaikh, Tausif Bilal Attar, Nida Ejaz Khan and AIMIM corporator Mateen Patel as accused.
- The SIT summoned and questioned Mateen Patel this week and seized his and Hanif Khan’s mobile phones for forensic examination to recover chat records and other digital evidence.
- Police say the probe documents allegations of sexual harassment, rape, forced religious conversion and identity manipulation at the TCS Nashik BPO and reports that original identity papers were confiscated.
- Nine FIRs have been registered across local stations but the chargesheet so far covers only one case, none of the charged accused has been granted bail, and several suspects have been arrested.
- Investigators are preparing supplementary charges and trial filings after forensic analysis, and local civic actions against properties linked to the corporator have added a municipal enforcement element to the investigation.
