Nida Khan — the absconding HR manager accused in the alleged religious coercion case at Tata Consultancy Services’ Nashik unit — is set to move a petition for anticipatory bail, citing pregnancy as a key ground.
Sources said that the application is already in process and expected to be filed shortly. Information accessed indicates that her plea for anticipatory bail will cite pregnancy as a key ground among other reasons.
Nida Khan, 26, had resigned in January last year and later relocated to Mumbai post marriage. She had taken a transfer to the company’s Mumbai branch office.
According to sources, she is in her early stage of pregnancy, which is likely to be a central argument in seeking anticipatory bail.
Prosecutors are likely to oppose the bail, citing her alleged role as a “mastermind” who actively participated in grooming and coerced victims into religious practices.
What Is The Case?
Nida Khan is among eight employees who have been accused of alleged rape, sexual harassment, religious coercion, and other kinds of harassment of their colleagues at TCS’s Nashik BPO, which has triggered a massive controversy surrounding the corporate culture.
Seven of the accused are under arrest while Khan remains on the run.
