Nashik Court Grants Bail to AIMIM Corporator in TCS-Linked Harassment Case
A Nashik court granted bail to AIMIM corporator Mateen Patel in a case linked to alleged sexual and religious harassment at a TCS-associated BPO. Patel was accused of sheltering Nida Khan, one of the eight accused, while she evaded arrest. The court noted Patel's custody was unnecessary as he remained out of custody during the investigation and the police did not seek his custodial interrogation. Patel denies personal knowledge of Khan, stating he only helped a family secure housing. Bail was granted on a personal surety of Rs 75,000 with conditions to attend hearings and notify address changes.
