The National Commission for Women (NCW) has set up a fact-finding committee to probe the alleged sexual harassment cases at a Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) BPO unit in Maharashtra’s Nashik.The women rights body will visit the facility on April 18 to conduct an on-the-spot inquiry, examine the relevant circumstances, and assess the response of authorities. It will then submit a report within 10 working days, a statement by NCW said on Wednesday.Nine FIRs have been registered in connection with the said allegations of harassment and religious coercion since March 25. The issue has now become a widespread concern on social media as well after the Nashik police confirmed the harassment with a 40-day undercover operation from mid-February.“The reports indicate that an initial inquiry, triggered by a complaint relating to religious practices, has brought to light disturbing allegations involving sexual harassment, rape, and attempts at forced religious conversion of female employees by certain individuals in supervisory roles,” the Commission said.According to the police, they tracked the behaviours of the accused managers and team leaders, and by April 7, seven employees were arrested, while an HR manager is in police remand for allegedly ignoring a victim’s complaint email.“Former Bombay High Court judge Sadhna Jadhav, former Haryana DGP BK Sinha, Supreme Court advocate Monika Arora and NCW senior coordinator Lilabati are part of the team visiting the facility,” the statement said.The Commission said the investigation will involve studying the circumstances leading to the incident and conducting inquiries at locations beyond the Nashik facility, if needed, in addition to the routine interactions with victims, police officials, and company representatives.“The National Commission for Women remains committed to ensuring a safe and dignified working environment for women and will take all necessary steps based on the findings of the Committee,” it said.Earlier, Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran said the case was being treated with “utmost seriousness” and that “a thorough investigation” was under way.The Nashik Collector’s office has also initiated a parallel inquiry under the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act, 2013.
