Overview
- Police in Nashik have registered nine FIRs tied to allegations at a TCS-linked BPO and arrested eight employees as a Special Investigation Team leads the case.
- Accused Nida Khan sought anticipatory bail, with her lawyer saying she is in Mumbai and pregnant, while police describe her as an absconding mastermind.
- TCS suspended the named staff and shifted Nashik employees to work from home, with Tata Sons’ chairman calling the allegations gravely concerning and ordering an internal inquiry.
- Investigators have contacted national security agencies to review possible organised or foreign links, though the police chief says no evidence of extremist financing has surfaced so far.
- Police said six women officers worked undercover at the office for 40 days, a step they credit with prompting more staff to file complaints that then became formal cases.
