NASHIK: Police officers investigating a series of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and religious coercion cases linked to the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) office in Nashik have said that the prime accused uses separate passwords for every file and application on his cellphone, creating hurdles in the probe.The accused, a TCS employee facing charges of rape, sexual harassment and hurting religious sentiments, was taken by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to the Regional Forensic Science Laboratory in Nashik on Friday evening to unlock his cellphone, which is secured with Face ID, the police said.
ACP (crime) Sandeep Mitke, who is heading the SIT, said, “Investigators are encountering difficulties accessing key digital evidence due to the multiple layers of password protection on the accused’s phone. As a result, forensic assistance has been sought to enable access to the device.”The accused is one of four suspects who were remanded in police custody till April 29 on Friday. They are facing charges of sexual harassment and religious coercion based on a complaint filed by one of their male co-workers.Police said the accused taken to the forensic laboratory is the main accused in the rape case, which was the first of the nine cases registered in connection with sexual assault and harassment complaints against TCS staffers currently under investigation.
