While he was listening to party workers' grievances at the Circuit House in the presence of District In-Charge Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao, several Congress leaders voiced strong dissatisfaction.

Leaders including K.K. Shahul Hameed, former Mayor K. Ashraf, and Suhail Kandak alleged that despite the Congress being in power, injustices against Muslims continue. They accused the state police department of operating in alignment with right-wing forces and expressed concern over the increasing number of attacks and attempted murders targeting Muslims.

Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services on Friday said it has initiated a formal internal investigation into allegations linked to its Nashik unit and engaged independent external experts to ensure transparency in the process.

Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director K Krithivasan was quoted by The Observer Post as saying that the company has appointed Deloitte and Trilegal as independent counsel to support the probe. The internal investigation is being led by Aarthi Subramanian.

The company has constituted a supervisory committee chaired by independent director Keki Mistry, which will oversee the process. The committee will also review findings and monitor the implementation of recommendations.

Krithivasan said a preliminary review of the company’s internal systems and records had not revealed any complaints of the nature being alleged through its ethics or POSH channels.

He also clarified that an employee named in media reports, Nida Khan, was not part of the human resources function and did not hold any leadership role. He informed that she worked as a process associate.

The company has also rejected reports suggesting that operations at the Nashik facility had been suspended. It asserted that the unit continues to function without disruption with a zero-tolerance policy towards misconduct.
