In Nashik, India, Mateen Patel, a corporator from the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM) party, has been booked for allegedly providing shelter to Nida Khan, an accused in a sexual exploitation case linked to Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). Khan, who had been evading arrest for 42 days, was apprehended after police received tips about her whereabouts in Sambhajinagar. Patel reportedly offered a house in Naregaon, where Khan lived with her family, and provided them food. He has been charged under section 238 of the Bombay Police Act for allegedly aiding in the disappearance of evidence. The case has drawn political scrutiny, with Maharashtra's Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis asserting that Patel's involvement indicates organized support for Khan. The situation has led to a public dispute between AIMIM and Shiv Sena leaders regarding the allegations against AIMIM members. As the investigation continues, police are expected to identify others who may have assisted Khan during her time on the run.
