TCS Nashik office staff asked to work from home amid ongoing investigation

IT major Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has asked employees at its Nashik office to work from home as a precaution, citing safety and convenience amid ongoing allegations at the facility.

The move comes as authorities continue to investigate claims of religious conversion and sexual harassment linked to the TCS Nashik office.

According to Times of India’s reports, Nashik Police have stepped up the probe. They have reached out to agencies, including the National Investigation Agency (NIA), Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), and state intelligence units to assist in the investigation.

Police Commissioner Sandeep Karnik said the action follows concerns being shared on social media about possible extremist links or foreign funding tied to the case. He clarified that there is no evidence so far to support such claims, the report said. The involvement of multiple agencies is aimed only at ensuring a thorough and coordinated review of the matter.

Officials said nine FIRs have been filed based on complaints from employees. These include allegations of sexual harassment, intimidation, and attempts to pressure individuals into religious conversion, according to the report.

So far, six employees and an assistant general manager have been arrested. Another accused, a woman, is still absconding. Police said some of those arrested held senior or supervisory roles and are accused of misusing their positions to target junior staff.
