“Don’t equate Nashik Police with the tyrant ‘Kansa’ while granting bail to accused Nida Khan” – Hindu Janajagruti Samiti
Mumbai – The Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) has expressed deep concern and hurt over the recent judicial observations made while granting bail to Nida Khan, an accused in the Nashik Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) ‘Corporate Jihad’ case. While reiterating its highest respect for the judiciary and the rule of law, the HJS stated that comparing the accused’s pregnancy to the birth of Bhagwan Shri Krishna has severely hurt the religious sentiments of millions of Hindus.

Serious allegations of corporate jihad and non-cooperation
The accused, Nida Khan, is facing grave allegations of sexual harassment, mental harassment, and the forced religious conversion of female employees at the TCS office in Nashik. The case also involves serious accusations that innocent Hindu women employees were coerced into religious conversion and that the voices of the victims were systematically suppressed.
Furthermore, the accused allegedly disrespected the judicial process by remaining absconding for around 40 days and failing to cooperate with the ongoing investigation. These severe allegations are presently undergoing judicial proceedings before the court.
Religious sentiments hurt by inappropriate analogies
According to Hindu scriptures, the tyrant Kansa imprisoned the innocent Devaki and Vasudeva following a prophecy that Devaki’s eighth son would be the cause of his death. The HJS noted that comparing the present case with Shri Krishna’s birth creates an unintended impression that the Nashik Police are being equated with the villainous Kansa.
The Samiti strongly believes that such religious analogies should be avoided during judicial observations, as they may unfairly undermine the morale of the investigating agencies and hurt the faith of devotees, sparking unnecessary controversy.
Why special treatment for Nida Khan? The law must apply equally to everyone
नाशिक TCS प्रकरण : आरोपी निदा खान को जमानत देने में स्पेशल ट्रीटमेंट क्यों ?
निदा खान पर जो गंभीर आरोप है, उन्हें देखते हुए उसके प्रेगन्सी की तुलना भगवान श्रीकृष्ण से करना हिंदुओं की आस्था को आहत करनेवाला है ! @KreatelyMedia @ajeetbharti #TCS #Nashik #NidaKhan pic.twitter.com/sDo41Bff6W

The HJS also raised concerns over what appears to be special consideration being extended to the accused. Citing the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) Prison Statistics Report 2024, the Samiti pointed out that women constitute approximately 4.1% of India’s total prison population.
Across the country, 1,537 women inmates are accompanied by 1,764 children in prisons. Furthermore, in the state of West Bengal alone, according to a 2024 report, 62 women inmates delivered children while in judicial custody over a span of four years.
Raising a pertinent question, the HJS asked why the accused in this specific Corporate Jihad case is being treated differently; the law must apply equally to everyone.
Appeal to the Maharashtra government
Reiterating its respect for the judiciary, HJS stated that judicial observations should avoid religious comparisons that may hurt public sentiments or create unnecessary controversy. The Samiti has urged the Maharashtra Government to carefully examine the bail order and, if legally sustainable, challenge it before the appropriate higher court.
