TCS case: Supreme Court moved, plea seeks to classify ‘forced religious conversion’ as ‘terrorist act’

A plea was filed by BJP leader and advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay in the Supreme Court of India on Thursday, following allegations of religious conversion and sexual harassment at a Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) office in Nashik. The petition sought directions to curb deceitful religious conversions. It contended that when such conversions are carried out as part of a systematic, organised, and coercive campaign, they amount to a “terrorist act”, according to PTI.

The plea comes in response to accusations made by eight female employees at the TCS office in Nashik, who alleged sexual harassment along with claims of forced religious conversion.
