Six male accused in TCS-linked BPO case move court for bail
The matter is scheduled to be heard on May 2. Police have so far arrested seven accused, while one accused, Nida Khan, is allegedly absconding.
Pune/Nashik: Six male accused in the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)-linked business process outsourcing (BPO) case have approached court seeking bail in two separate cases registered in Nashik.
Danish Shaikh and Tausif Attar have filed bail applications in connection with a case registered at Deolali Police Station. Shaikh is accused of allegedly luring a junior female colleague on the pretext of marriage and engaging in a sexual relationship with her, while Attar has been accused of sexual harassment by the same complainant.
Attar’s defence counsel, Baba Sayyed, confirmed that the duo has moved the court for bail. The matter is scheduled to be heard on May 2.
Sayyed added that in a separate development, five accused in one of the eight cases registered at Mumbai Naka Police Station have also filed a bail application on April 20. The court is expected to hear that plea on April 28.
The five accused in this case are Raza Memon, Shafi Shaikh, Tausif Attar, Asif Ansari and Shahrukh Qureshi. They have been accused by a female employee of sexual harassment and hurting religious sentiments.
Meanwhile, police have so far arrested seven accused, while one accused, Nida Khan, is allegedly absconding. A court had rejected her interim pre-arrest bail plea earlier this week and is scheduled to hear her anticipatory bail application on April 27.
