A court has refused to grant interim relief to Nida Khan, the alleged 'mastermind' in the TCS Nashik case, citing grounds that she was pregnant.
Nida, 26, is one of eight accused in the case involving alleged sexual harassment and religious coercion at the BPO.
She had moved the Nashik Sessions Court for anticipatory bail, but the court denied her request.
The case came to light when a 23-year-old BPO employee filed a complaint against her seniors, including team leaders, for alleged sexual abuse, harassment, and religious coercion.
Based on the allegations, the police registered FIRs against eight employees, including Nida Khan, who is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Business Administration.
Her father has denied the claims of her being the 'mastermind' behind the alleged conversions, saying she simply went to work every day and got into trouble.
Seven of the accused have been arrested, while Nida evaded the authorities, sparking a debate on her whereabouts.
