AIMIM Corporator Arrested in Connection with TCS Religious Conversion Case in Maharashtra
Matin Patel, an AIMIM corporator from Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, was arrested after failing to appear in court in connection with the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) religious conversion case involving ex-employee Nida Khan. Authorities allege Patel sheltered Khan, who was previously arrested and later granted bail while pregnant. Following Patel's arrest, officials demolished his residence and office, citing unauthorized structures. The case stems from allegations of sexual harassment and forced religious conversion at a TCS-linked unit in Nashik.
