Serious allegations of sexual harassment and forced religious conversion at the Nashik campus of Tata Consultancy Services have triggered widespread concern, with police arresting seven employees and the company initiating strict internal action.
The issue came to light after a woman employee filed a complaint accusing a colleague of misconduct and deception under the pretext of marriage. As police began investigating, more women came forward with similar allegations, revealing a disturbing pattern of behavior within the workplace.
According to officials, the accused include a senior HR manager and several other employees. The complaints mention inappropriate physical contact, offensive remarks, body shaming and pressure related to food habits and religious practices. Victims also alleged attempts to influence religious beliefs, raising the seriousness of the case.
Police conducted an undercover operation to verify the claims. Women officers entered the campus in disguise and reportedly caught some of the accused engaging in inappropriate behavior. CCTV footage was also examined, which helped authorities identify and arrest the remaining individuals involved.
Following the arrests, TCS confirmed that all accused employees have been suspended. The company stated that it maintains a zero tolerance policy towards any form of workplace harassment and is fully cooperating with law enforcement authorities.
Reacting to the developments, Natarajan Chandrasekaran described the incident as deeply concerning. He announced that a comprehensive internal investigation has been ordered to examine the matter thoroughly and ensure accountability at all levels.
The probe is being led by senior leadership within the organization, indicating the seriousness with which the company is treating the issue. Meanwhile, employee unions have also raised concerns and urged authorities to introduce stricter workplace safety guidelines to prevent such incidents in the future.
The case has highlighted gaps in internal grievance redressal systems, as some victims claimed their earlier complaints were not acted upon. Authorities are continuing their investigation, and further developments are expected in the coming days.
