Latest update on Nida Khan TCS case: The controversy surrounding the alleged case of harassment and religious conversion at a Tata Consultancy Services-affiliated BPO unit in Nashik has taken a new turn after the family of accused Nida Khan publicly defended her. While police said she was “absconding”, her relatives insisted she was innocent and made several claims to counter reports linking her to the case.
Authorities have already arrested seven defendants in connection with allegations of sexual harassment and forced religious conversion at work, while investigations into the remaining defendants continue.
Latest update on Nida Khan TCS case: 5 things Nida Khan’s family said in Nashik BPO case
1. Nida Khan is pregnant, says family
One of the most striking claims made by the family is that Nida Khan is pregnant and is currently staying with relatives.
According to family members, she is expecting her first child and is living away from the public spotlight. This statement comes at a time when court proceedings are ongoing and police are intensifying their search for the accused named in several FIRs.
Her family also said her health condition was making the ongoing publicity extremely stressful for her.
2. She works in Mumbai, not Nashik
The family said that Nida moved to Mumbai after her marriage last year and worked there instead of Nashik.
Relatives claimed that she joined a BPO office in Mumbai in January and is currently not working at the Nashik facility under investigation. They insisted that this detail contradicted several reports that directly linked their daily work to the Nashik office.
3. She is not an HR manager, but a telephone caller
Another important clarification from the family concerns their professional role.
They rejected reports that described her as a human resources manager, saying she worked as a switchboard operator on the sales team and not in a senior position.
The family also alleged that misleading information about her appointment was spread on social media, leading to confusion about her responsibilities at the workplace.
4. Viral photo was edited on Instagram
Family members claimed that a widely circulated photograph showing her as a human resources officer was digitally altered.
They said the original image was taken from their Instagram profile and the HR handle was added later using editing tools. According to them, this edited image quickly spread across social media platforms and television shows, further aggravating the controversy.
5. Father expresses regret for making her work
Nida Khan’s father spoke emotionally about the situation and expressed regret for encouraging his daughter to work in the corporate sector.
He said: “It would have been better if she hadn’t worked at all. Such terrible things are said about her, none of which are true. We were deeply upset. Her mother has become ill.”
His statement reflects the emotional toll the controversy has taken on the family during the ongoing investigation.

Latest update on Nida Khan TCS case: Why this case has grabbed national attention
The Nashik BPO controversy has sparked a national debate due to its seriousness and the number of allegations surrounding it.
Authorities are investigating allegations that the incidents occurred over several years and that victims reported repeated harassment before the matter came to public light. The case has also raised concerns about workplace safety and internal grievance systems in corporate environments.
As the investigation continues, both official findings and counterclaims from the defendants’ families are likely to shape the narrative surrounding the case.
