Overview
- A Nashik court, which on Friday ordered police custody until April 29, granted the special team time to question four TCS BPO staff over alleged religious coercion and sexual harassment.
- Remand papers say police will retrieve phones, seize two cars, recover a WhatsApp post showing a prayer cap on a colleague, locate the shop that sold the cap, and test a claim about an intoxicant in sheer khurma.
- Nine FIRs filed between March 26 and April 3 name multiple employees across cases, with seven arrests so far and one accused, Nida Khan, reported as absconding after applying for anticipatory bail.
- The SIT is also mapping hotel visits where non-vegetarian food was allegedly forced, checking CCTV and chat logs, and running panchnamas to fix movements and corroborate timelines.
- TCS says it suspended the accused and opened an independent review with Deloitte and Trilegal, as families report stress and resignations, and police seek a special public prosecutor citing the case’s broader stakes.
