Police registers case against TVF founder Arunabh Kumar

Mumbai, Mar 29 (IBNS): A case has been filed against TVF (The Viral Fever) CEO and founder Arunabh Kumar for sexually harassing a woman after she finally filed a complaint against him, media reports said.

The victim had earlier leveled an accusation of molestation against him in a blog post on medium.com as an anonymous writer.

She has 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.

Kumar had earlier denied all allegations.

He had reportedly told Mumbai Mirror that he was "open to receiving a police complaint so that I can respond legally as well."

After that one post, several women had broken silence on social media and recounted their experience of facing similar situations.

One of those women, Ayushi Agarwal had 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 had 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.
