Following the court’s refusal to grant interim protection, Bandbhar said the police are now free to arrest Khan.Khan’s lawyers — Rahul Kasliwal and Baba Sayyed — were seeking her interim protection from arrest until the court decides on her anticipatory bail application, which was filed on Saturday.The defence argued for interim relief on health grounds, stating that Khan is pregnant. He added that Khan was not absconding.Sayyed told the court that Khan would not surrender ahead of the next hearing scheduled for April 27. However, the court chose not to issue an interim order and instead directed Nashik police and the complainant to file their formal responses to her application.The SIT has so far arrested seven employees of the BPO, including a female operations manager, by registering nine FIRs over allegations of exploitation, attempt of forceful conversion, molestation and mental harassment of female employees at the centre.
