Mumbai, 17th April: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said the state government will seek the intervention of central agencies to investigate a serious case at a BPO facility of Tata Consultancy Services in Nashik.
Calling the matter “grave and deeply concerning,” Fadnavis asserted that strict action is underway and the probe will go “to the root of the case.”
“We will not spare anyone involved. No one will be shielded. We have asked central agencies to probe the matter thoroughly,” he said, adding that the case appears to be part of a larger organised module.
The controversy involves allegations that several women employees were subjected to sexual exploitation and coercion related to religious practices. Complaints claim that certain team leaders targeted economically vulnerable women, pressuring them into religious activities.
Police have registered multiple cases, with at least nine FIRs filed so far. Seven accused have been arrested, while the prime accused, Nida Khan, remains absconding and has approached a court seeking anticipatory bail.
The Nashik Police has constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the case. Investigators are also examining a possible international link, including the role of a Malaysia-based individual and suspected illegal funding channels.
Authorities are also probing a resort where victims allegedly were taken under coercive circumstances.
TCS has suspended the employees named in the allegations and said it is cooperating fully with law enforcement agencies. Fadnavis noted that the company has taken timely action.
The alleged incidents are said to have occurred between 2022 and 2026, raising concerns over workplace safety and oversight mechanisms.
The matter has reached the Supreme Court of India, where a petition has termed the case a “systematic conspiracy” and sought strict action.
With multiple dimensions — legal, political and investigative — the case is expected to remain under close scrutiny as authorities attempt to uncover the full extent of the alleged network.
