AIMIM Corporator Arrested for Allegedly Sheltering Accused in TCS Harassment CasePreviousNext

Matin Patel, an AIMIM corporator from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, was arrested for failing to appear in court amid the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) sexual harassment and religious conversion case. He is accused of sheltering Nida Khan, a key accused who was granted bail while pregnant. Authorities demolished Patel's residence and office, alleging unauthorized structures. The Nashik police's Special Investigation Team is probing nine related cases, including harassment, coercion, and religious offenses at the TCS Nashik office. Patel denies personal knowledge of Khan, claiming he only helped a family find housing.
