SIT presents new claims of alleged religious pressure as court reserves order on anticipatory bail plea
April 28, 2026: Fresh allegations have surfaced in the TCS Nashik case, adding a new dimension to the ongoing investigation into alleged workplace abuse and religious coercion. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has placed additional claims before a sessions court, intensifying scrutiny on accused Nida Ejaz Khan. The developments come as the court prepares to deliver its verdict on Khan’s anticipatory bail plea on May 2, a decision that could significantly impact the course of the probe.
According to investigators, a complainant has alleged that Khan attempted to influence her religious practices over a period of time. The SIT claims that the accused allegedly trained the woman at her residence in offering namaz and wearing a hijab, while also installing religious applications on her phone and sharing related content regularly. The complaint further points to alleged attempts to persuade her to convert, including suggestions of a name change and promises of job opportunities abroad, which investigators argue indicate sustained psychological pressure.
Meanwhile, the sessions court in Nashik has reserved its order on Khan’s anticipatory bail plea, with the prosecution opposing relief and seeking custodial interrogation to examine the allegations in detail. Khan, currently described as absconding, has not received interim protection from arrest. Officials say the upcoming court ruling will be crucial in determining the next steps in the investigation, as multiple complaints and serious charges continue to be examined.
