Tata Consultancy Services’s Nashik unit faces a major crisis after allegations of sexual harassment, rape, and attempted religious conversion escalated into nine FIRs. Police say seven male accused operated as an “organised gang” targeting female employees, while two women are also implicated. A covert 40-day operation by undercover officers confirmed complaints, triggering arrests of eight employees, with one accused absconding. Victims alleged coercion, workplace abuse, and HR inaction. Sections under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita have been invoked. A Special Investigation Team is probing the case, while the National Commission for Women has formed a fact-finding panel to investigate further. (PC: Reuters)
