Who is Nida Khan, the ‘mastermind on the run’ at centre of TCS-linked BPO controversy in Nashik

Mumbai (TIP), April 17, 2026: Nida Khan, a 26-year-old woman, has emerged as a central figure in a controversial case involving allegations of sexual harassment and attempted religious conversion at a business process outsourcing (BPO) office linked to Tata Consultancy Services in Nashik, Maharashtra. The case has drawn significant public attention due to the seriousness of the accusations and the involvement of multiple employees.
According to police, Nida Khan is among eight individuals accused in the case and has been described as the alleged “mastermind” behind certain aspects of the incident, particularly those related to handling complaints within the workplace. Police officials have recovered approximately 78 ‘suspicious’ call records, emails and chats exchanged between the accused. The police have found evidence of potential financial transactions too, reports ANI. Nida, currently on the run, claims she is pregnant and wants court relief.
Investigators claim that she functioned in a human resources capacity and was part of the Internal Complaints Committee formed under workplace sexual harassment laws. In that role, she is alleged to have discouraged victims from pursuing formal complaints and failed to escalate serious allegations to higher authorities.
The case first came to light after a 23-year-old employee filed a First Information Report (FIR) in Nashik. In her complaint, she accused a colleague of sexual harassment, alleging that he entered into a relationship with her under the false promise of marriage while concealing the fact that he was already married.
