Nashik Court Grants Bail to Nida Khan in TCS-Linked Harassment and Conversion Case
A Nashik court granted bail to Nida Khan and Tausif Attar, accused in a sexual harassment and religious conversion case linked to a TCS-associated BPO unit, nearly two months after their arrest. The court denied bail to prime accused Danish Shaikh, citing serious allegations including sexual assault under false promises. The case involves multiple FIRs and a Special Investigation Team probing nine related complaints of exploitation, coercion, and harassment of female employees. Khan's bail was granted partly due to her pregnancy, while investigations continue.
