TCS Nashik Probe Deepens as Firm Suspends Staff and Tata Orders Internal Inquiry

Tata Sons assigned the COO to lead an internal inquiry following police arrests at the Nashik unit.

Overview

  • Responding to public scrutiny, TCS said Sunday it suspended employees under investigation and is cooperating with Nashik police.
  • The Special Investigation Team has registered nine FIRs tied to alleged sexual exploitation and religious coercion at the BPO unit, and seven employees including the local HR manager have been arrested.
  • Complainants say senior team leaders groped and stalked them, made lewd remarks, and in one case raped a colleague, while also pressuring staff to perform Islamic practices and eat beef.
  • Police say female officers entered the office in disguise to corroborate complaints and are now reviewing WhatsApp chats, call logs, emails, and more than 40 CCTV clips.
  • Tata Sons chairman N. Chandrasekaran called the case gravely concerning and named COO Aarthi Subramanian to run an internal probe, while investigators urge more victims to come forward and no chargesheet has been filed yet.
