Nida Khan gets bail in Nashik TCS sexual harassment case ; no relief for co-accused

NASHIK: A court here on Monday granted bail to TCS employee Nida Khan in one of the alleged sexual harassment and religious conversion cases at the IT firm’s unit in north Maharashtra’s Nashik city, two months after her arrest, but denied a similar relief to co-accused Danish Shaikh.

Additional Sessions Judge (Nashik Road court) K G Joshi, in his order, noted that accusations against Shaikh’s appears to be “grave in nature”.

“Considering the nature of punishment, possibility of tampering (with) evidence, fleeing away from justice, threatening the witnesses, (and) emotionally black-mailing (them), can not be ruled out,” the Judge observed while rejecting his bail plea.
