After TCS Nashik, Pune's Wipro is in the news for allegedly forcing its Hindu employees to convert to Islam; a similar case has come to the fore from an Insurance company in Pune. A 27-year-old Hindu woman employee working with Star Union Dai-ichi Life Insurance and posted at a Union Bank branch in Pune's Hinjewadi area
complained that she was mentally tortured and physically abused at the hands of her immediate senior, identified as Mohammad Jafar alias Sadiq Madrasab Sayyed.
In the complaint, the woman stated that the accused frequently made inappropriate comments and attempted to exploit his position of authority. “My senior is Mohammad Siddiqui. He mentally harassed me and also subjected me to physical harassment. He would tell me that I would get a particular post and that we would go places together. He kept harassing me and would say that if I kept him happy, everything would be better for me. Otherwise, he would remove anyone who displeased him. He made such obscene remarks and repeatedly said inappropriate things to me."
Following the complaint, the Hinjewadi Police
arrested the accused and booked him under the relevant sections of the law. The complainant alleged that the accused repeatedly linked her professional growth and career prospects to his personal demands, creating an atmosphere of fear and intimidation. The recent incident, along with the complaint involving Wipro, has brought workplace safety issues and allegations of authority misuse within private sector organisations into sharper focus.
Woman employee in Wipro complained regarding forced religious conversionOn June 3, a former employee of Wipro Technologies
stated that she was subjected to religious harassment, workplace discrimination, and coercion, leading to her resignation. The matter was reportedly taken up with the Hinjawadi Police, and a legal notice was served on the company.
The allegations were brought to public attention during a press conference organised by Hindu Janajagruti Samiti in Pune. The former employee alleged that while working at Wipro’s Hinjawadi office, a colleague repeatedly urged her to convert to Islam and pursue a relationship with a Muslim man.

The complainant said she opposed these suggestions and eventually limited all interactions with the colleague to official work-related communication.
This is very close to what happened in Nashik, MaharashtraA similar incident was exposed in the Nashik district of Maharashtra. In early 2026, multiple employees at the TCS Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) campus in Nashik, Maharashtra, filed FIRs alleging sustained sexual harassment and religious coercion by several team leaders. The allegations reportedly span from 2022 to 2026, pointing to prolonged misconduct within the workplace.

filed a complaint at the Deolali Camp Police Station. As more victims came forward, a clear and disturbing pattern began to emerge. The accused allegedly created multiple WhatsApp groups and smaller internal communication circles to engage with colleagues and gradually influence them. Victims claimed that individuals were shortlisted based on personal vulnerabilities such as emotional stress or family issues.
Several victims claimed that repeated complaints had been made to the company's human resources department, including over 78 emails and multiple phone calls, but no effective action was taken. The allegations against Nida Khan herself are chilling in their specificity. According to the FIR, Khan allegedly advised women employees to dress and behave in accordance with Islamic traditions. Some complainants alleged that they were coerced or pressured into adopting religious practices, including praying, changing dietary habits, and adopting religious symbols.
In the given case, the accused has been identified as Mohammad Jafar alias Sadiq Madrasab Sayyed and he has been
arrested by the Hinjewadi Police.
