PUNE/NASHIK: A major investigation into alleged sexual harassment and coercion at a TCS BPO unit in Nashik has resulted in nine FIRs and multiple arrests, including a senior HR official.
The Nashik court has remanded the HR manager to custody till April 15.
Officials said further interrogation is needed to analyse extensive digital records and related evidence.
