  "account": "Nashik police have apprehended AIMIM corporator Mateen Patel for allegedly aiding and sheltering Nida Khan, an accused in the TCS sexual harassment and religious conversion case. Patel was apprehended on Thursday, August 6, 2026, months after the police located Khan at a residence provided by Patel in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Despite being summoned for an inquiry, Patel failed to appear before the police. The special team of Nashik city police Crime Branch relocated Patel to Nashik following Khan's arrest, which subsequently led to the registration of a case against Patel and the house owner. Patel is set to be presented in court later in the day. The probe involves nine cases, including exploitation, forced conversion, religious sentiment hurt, molestation, and mental harassment, at a TCS branch in Nashik. TCS had clarified its zero-tolerance stance towards harassment and coercion in March, with the involved employees being suspended.",
