On 20th April, the Nashik Road Additional District Court denied interim relief to Nida Khan, one of the accused in the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) conversion scandal. The matter was heard by District Judge KG Joshi.

Nida Khan has been absconding since the FIRs were registered in the case. She has been named as the mastermind of the conversion scandal. Initially, media reports suggested she was an HR Manager in the TCS Nashik branch, but later the company clarified that she was a process associate. Details of the role and its responsibilities can be checked here.

The defence sought time to submit written response which the court granted. The matter will be heard next on 27th April.

Details of the case

On 23rd March, the first FIR in the case was registered at Deolali Camp Police Station in Nashik, where a woman working at TCS accused several Muslim employees, including Nida Khan, of hurting religious sentiments and workplace harassment. Following the FIR, an undercover operation by female cops revealed a scandal, leading to eight additional FIRs at Mumbai Naka Police Station. All the accused in the case, except Nida Khan, have been arrested by the police. Nida Khan appealed for interim anticipatory bail, claiming she is pregnant. The uproar in the matter forced TCS to issue a public statement and initiate an internal investigation.
