Nashik Police subsequently formed an SIT to investigate the complaints, while TCS launched an internal probe despite initially claiming it had received no formal complaints. Of the nine accused, seven are men, while two—Nida Khan, a project associate at TCS, as per the suspension letter sent by the company to her—and Ashwini Chainani, the head of HR operations, are women. Chainani is alleged to have ignored complaints about the behaviour of the accused persons, backing them instead.
