Event Summary

Nida Khan, an employee of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), was arrested in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on May 7, 2026, in connection with alleged religious conversion and sexual harassment at the company's Nashik unit. Police claim that Matin Patel, a corporator from the India — All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), provided shelter to Nida Khan and her family. The Nashik Road sessions court remanded Nida Khan in police custody until May 11, after previously rejecting her anticipatory bail plea due to a 'systematic plan' of brainwashing the victim. The investigation revealed attempts to convert a victim, change her name to 'Haniya', and send her to Malaysia, with links to an alleged conversion racket in Malegaon. Tata Consultancy Services has stated a zero-tolerance policy and suspended involved employees. The incident has sparked political controversy, with India — Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and other ministers accusing the India — All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen of involvement. In response, the India — Maharashtra government has mandated strict implementation of the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act for all establishments employing 10 or more persons.
