Eight female employees at the company's Nashik office have levelled allegations of sexual harassment and coercion for religious conversion against their senior colleagues

IT giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has asked its Nashik branch employees to work from home amid the ongoing probe into the sexual harassment and religious conversion case.

A company executive told Moneycontrol that the decision was taken for the safety of employees following an attempt by local political parties to vandalise the office premises earlier this week.

Reportedly, the company has a 5000-sq ft office in Ashoka Business Enclave, where about 170 employees work in two shifts.

Besides, CNN News18 reported that the company has halted fresh recruitments at its Nashik unit until the probe continues.
