Multiple women accuses TVF founder Arunabh Kumar of sexual harassment

India Blooms News Service | | 14 Mar 2017, 10:13 pm
Mumbai, Mar 14 (IBNS): Multiple women accused online digital entertainment channel TVF (The Viral Fever) CEO and founder Arunabh Kumar of sexual harassment after an anonymous writer leveled an accusation of molestation against him in a blog post on medium.com.

In a blog posted on Sunday, an anonymous writer said that she had been molested by Kumar for three years when she was an employee of TVF.

She mentioned that she had joined TVF in 2014 and was molested for three years until she resigned in 2016.

However after this post, several women broke silence on social media and recounted their experience of facing similar situations.

One of those women, Ayushi Agarwal said: "I don't know who you are but I am also an ex-TVF employee and I have had to face a similar experience working there. I felt exploited and cheated and I left job under very bad circumstances. I hope things have worked out for you. I would never recommend anybody to work there."

Another women who worked with TVF accused Kumar through a Facebook post that the latter had touched her inappropriately during a shooting.

The accused however denied all the allegations hurled against him and said that he is ready to face the matter legally.

While speaking exclusively in Mumbai Mirror, Kumar said: "I unconditionally and unequivocally deny all these allegations. Social media has already declared me an offender, but I am ready to address all the allegations against me. I am open to receiving a police complaint so that i can respond legally as well."

He even stated that he used to call a woman "sexy" as a compliment and he finds it absolutely fine.

The colleagues of Kumar though previously stood beside him and defended but later ensured an investigation.
