The TCS Nashik case has sparked significant political controversy in Maharashtra. Social Justice Minister Sanjay Shirsat alleged that Nida Khan, who was arrested by Nashik Police, was sheltered by a local corporator from the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM). He claimed that this connection indicates a broader network of politically protected individuals involved in illegal activities. Shirsat has formally requested Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to establish a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate the matter thoroughly and restore public confidence. He emphasized that Khan is merely a pawn in a larger scheme orchestrated by powerful figures, suggesting that the network extends beyond Maharashtra. In response, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi dismissed the allegations as a media-driven narrative, asserting that Khan will be proven innocent in court. Nida Khan is accused of targeting TCS employees via a WhatsApp group, pressuring them regarding religious practices and attire. She is currently in police custody until May 11.
