TCS Nashik case: NCW flags sexual harassment, workplace bullying and failure of POSH mechanisms

The team submitted its over 50-page report to NCW chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar on May 5, who presented it to chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on May 8. In a three-page statement issued on Monday, the commission shared the salient features of the panel’s observations and recommendations for TCS going forward.

The panel was set up on April 15. Following this, the members spent two days at the BPO starting April 18. During that time, they spoke with the complainants, members of the company’s internal committee (IC) set up under the POSH Act, Nashik city police and other key witnesses.

As many as nine staffers of the BPO have accused eight senior colleagues of sexual abuse, harassment and hurting religious sentiments at the workplace. Nashik police have arrested eight.
