After a woman accused The Viral Fever founder Arunabh Kumar of sexual harassment at workplace through an anonymous blog titled The Indian Uber - That is TVF, two other woman came forward and made similar allegations.
While the woman alleged that she was harassed ¡°right from Pitchers to Tripling,¡± and that Arunabh would fall on her pretending to be drunk, Arunabh, on the other side denied of the allegations made against him. The founder of the digital entertainment channel recently opened up about the whole incident in detail while in an interview with Mumbai Mirror and stated that he is open to receiving police complaint.
About the allegations made against him, he quashed them all saying:
¡°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. TVF is bigger than me and if there is a remote chance that I have done any wrong, let me be persecuted.¡±
In another case, former employee Aayushi Aggarwal also alleged that she was exploited at the organisation and so she left the job under ¡°very bad circumstances.¡± Arunabh accepted that she had complaint of harassment while she was working with TVF.
He added that the company had appointed a committee to look into the matter, after which the person who was found guilty was sacked from TVF. ¡°The entire process was handled as it would be at any other corporate office,¡± he said.
He added that he never forces himself upon women.
¡°The kind of insinuations the FB post makes are untrue. I am a heterosexual, single man and when I find a woman sexy, I tell her she's sexy. I compliment women. Is that wrong? Having said that, I am very particular about my behaviour - I will approach a woman, but never force myself.¡±
