New Delhi: The Nashik TCS harassment and religious conversion case has taken a startling turn with several new revelations emerging in the SIT probe. The investigation revealed that Nida Khan, one of the main accused in the case, allegedly groomed a victim and taught her how to wear burqa and observe Roza and offer namaz.
Khan, who is absconding, allegedly installed specialised religious app on the victim’s mobile phone and sent her YouTube and Instagram links of religious content in an “attempt to influence her”, according to sources. Besides, Khan had also given a burqa and Islamic religious books to the victim with the alleged intent of conversion.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe also revealed that Khan allegedly tried to change the name of the victim to “Haniya” and intimidated her to convert her religion.
The accused also planned to send the victim to Malaysia under the pretext of a job opportunity and work for someone named Imran, sources said.
Nida Khan earlier worked as a process associate in TCS, Nashik unit. She is one of the accused in the sexual harassment and forced religious conversion case. She has been at large since the matter came to light.
A court last week denied Khan interim protection from arrest after she claimed she was pregnant.
