TCS BPO controversy: Who is Nida Khan, alleged mastermind of sexual harassment and conversion scandal
Nida Khan is one of the eight accused in the case involving alleged harassment and conversion of Hindu girls at the BPO office.
TCS BPO controversy: After a sexual harassment and alleged religious conversion case linked to a TCS-associated BPO office in Nashik came to light, police arrested seven people and claimed that the alleged mastermind, Nida Khan, was absconding. However, her family said she is at home, not on the run, and is pregnant.
Nida Khan is one of the eight accused in the case involving alleged harassment and conversion of Hindu girls at the BPO office. Police have described her as the main person behind the alleged conversions.
According to her family, she joined the BPO in December 2021 as a telecaller, not as an HR head or senior employee. The 26-year-old grew up and studied in Nashik and has a commerce degree. She is also pursuing an MBA through distance learning while working.
Her family said she got married last year and moved to Mumbai with her husband earlier this year. She was working at the company’s Malad office.
Initially, the family thought the case involved another person with the same name, but later realised it was her. They say the situation has caused them a lot of mental stress.
"My daughter has not done any of these things. She simply went to work every day and got into trouble just for saying hello and goodbye to the people," claimed Nida's father.
The case came to the light after an FIR was registered by Nashik police based on a complaint from a 23-year-old BPO employee accusing her senior colleague Danish Shaikh, of sexual harassment and engaging in sexual relations under the false pretext of marriage.
In her complaint, the woman also alleged that Danish did not disclose that he was already married thereby luring her into a relationship.
