Nida Khan, believed to be in her early 30s, has links to Pune, where police teams conducted searches during the investigation. While she was employed in Nashik, her movements between the two cities were also under scrutiny

Pune: A Pune-based Human Resources (HR) manager has been arrested in connection with a major workplace harassment and alleged coercion case at a business process outsourcing (BPO) unit linked to Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in Nashik. The accused, identified as Nida Khan, is now being probed as a key figure in the case, with investigators suspecting her role may be central to the alleged misconduct.

Khan was taken into custody on Friday (10th April) after initially being reported as absconding.

Her arrest comes after multiple FIRs were filed by women employees who accused several individuals of sexual harassment, threats, and coercion. The complaints were registered at Mumbai Naka and Deolali Camp police stations (under Nashik City Police Commissionerate).

According to the police, Khan was working as an HR manager at the Nashik facility. In her role, she was responsible for addressing employee grievances and ensuring workplace safety, including compliance with POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) norms. However, investigators now claim that instead of acting on complaints, she may have failed to take appropriate action.
