Nashik: The Nashik police have arrested an AIMIM corporator from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar for allegedly providing help and shelter to an accused in the TCS "sexual harassment and religious conversion" case, an official said on Friday.
Mateen Patel was taken into custody on Thursday, months after police tracked down accused Nida Khan to a house arranged by him in the Marathwada city, they said.
"A special team of Nashik city police Crime Branch visited Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and brought Patel here," an official said.
Nida Khan's specific role, according to the investigation, involved brainwashing the victim by giving her a burqa and religious literature.
After the cases came to light, TCS clarified that it has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards harassment and coercion of any form for a long time, and the employees allegedly involved in sexual harassment at the Nashik office have been suspended.
