In Nashik, Maharashtra, police have arrested six employees of a prominent business process outsourcing (BPO) firm following serious allegations of rape and sexual harassment from nine staff members, including eight women. The investigation began on March 26, 2023, when a female employee reported that a senior colleague had raped her. As the investigation progressed, additional complaints emerged, leading to a total of nine FIRs being registered against the accused under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Police Commissioner Sandeep Karnik confirmed the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to ensure a thorough examination of the case and the company's adherence to internal complaint mechanisms. The accused in the initial rape case had allegedly exploited the victim under the pretense of marriage and was already in custody prior to the new allegations surfacing. The BPO employs around 300–350 people, and the HR officer has also been named in one complaint for failing to address previous reports of harassment.
