After Nashik police in Maharashtra arrested six TCS employees in cases related to rape, sexual abuse, harassment, and hurting religious sentiments, the company said it has suspended them pending investigation.
TCS said it is cooperating with the police and that any further action will depend on the findings of the probe.
The company has a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment and coercion of any form and has ensured the highest standards of safety and well-being of its employees at the workplace.
The arrests followed a complaint filed by a woman at the Deolali police station in Nashik on March 26, accusing a senior TCS employee of rape.
Subsequently, eight more employees, including one male and seven female staff members, filed complaints at the Mumbai Naka police station, alleging sexual harassment.
Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis termed the case ‘extremely serious’ and praised police for probing the matter and making the arrests.
