Overview
- The Special Investigation Team submitted a second chargesheet to the additional chief judicial magistrate on Thursday covering eight FIRs linked to a Nashik TCS-associated BPO unit.
- The documents name multiple accused, including Danish Ejaz Sheikh, Tausif Attar, Nida Khan, Ashwini Chainani and Raza Memon, and the accused are currently in judicial custody.
- Police say investigators recorded more than 45 witness statements and collected CCTV and technical evidence, and they warned supplementary chargesheets could follow as the probe continues.
- The filings invoke a range of criminal provisions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and other laws and follow a May 22 chargesheet in a separate Deolali Camp case that also used the SC/ST (Atrocities Prevention) Act.
- Complainants say co-workers targeted them via a workplace WhatsApp group and pressured them on religious practice and diet, allegations that have widened the probe and raised reputational and political stakes after an AIMIM corporator was questioned.
