TCS case: Accused linked assaults to not wearing burqa, says victim

From derogatory slurs against religion to a team leader’s inappropriate touch during training sessions, a woman engineer at a Nashik office of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has revealed in harrowing detail the alleged harassment and religious coercion she faced at the office of the IT major.

In a statement, which is part of one of nine FIRs, the complainant alleged that her harassers justified violence against women as a consequence of not wearing burqas and made derogatory remarks about Hindu deities.
