TCS case: AIMIM leader Imtiaz Jaleel named accused for allegedly sheltering Nida Khan
· India · Indian Express, NDTV
Nashik Police has named AIMIM leader and former MP Imtiaz Jaleel as an accused in the existing FIR for allegedly sheltering Nida Khan while she was absconding in the TCS sexual harassment and religious conversion case. The development follows the interrogation of AIMIM corporator Matin Patel, who was earlier booked for providing Nida Khan accommodation. Police sources say investigators found evidence of Jaleel's alleged involvement during Patel's questioning, and the SIT has informed the court about his role. Jaleel's voice samples have been obtained for verification, though he earlier denied involvement and could not be contacted for comment. The case stems from employee complaints of sexual harassment and intimidation at a TCS unit in Nashik, leading to nine FIRs and an SIT probe.
Why it matters
The naming of Jaleel as an accused expands the legal net in the high-profile TCS case, potentially affecting the political standing of AIMIM leadership and the ongoing investigation into the alleged sheltering of a key accused. It underscores the widening scope of the police probe beyond the original workplace allegations.
