Nashik TCS Conversion Case: Accused Admits Teaching Namaz, Fasting Pressure ProbedPreviousNext

In the Nashik TCS religious conversion case, accused Nida Khan admitted during police questioning to personally teaching the victim how to perform Namaz and conducting religious sessions at her residence. Investigators are probing claims that the victim was subjected to sustained mental pressure, including being compelled by co-accused Danish and Tausif to observe all 30 days of Ramadan fasting. Authorities are examining whether these actions were voluntary or part of coercion to influence the victim's religious beliefs.
