In A First, A Woman Comedian Has Been Accused Of Sexually Harassing Another Woman Comedian
Aditi ¡°forcefully kissed¡± her and ¡°put her tongue in her mouth, she wrote.
As India is caught up in the crest of the #MeToo wave, more and more women are calling out names of their sexual predators. In a first, a woman comedian, Kaneez Surka, has put up allegations of sexual harassment on her fellow comedian Aditi Mittal.
Kaneez Surka, in her post, has called out Aditi Mittal for her inappropriate behaviour in front of the audience two-years ago. She has alleged that Aditi ¡°forcefully kissed¡± her and ¡°put her tongue in my mouth, while I was still on stage and without my consent.¡±

Kaneez Surka also wrote that she reached out to her a year ago, when Aditi Mittal first apologised but soon turned hostile.
¡°Out of my belief that the opportunity to reform is the only way forward, yesterday, once again, I spoke to her through a mutual friend and requested her to come out with a public apology and save me the pain of having to reveal her identity. Despite having acknowledged it earlier, she denied kissing me on my mouth, gaslighted me and asked me to cross check. I have proof but I thought we believe the victim. Her actions yesterday have further burdened me with the task of having to do this but I don't want to be silent anymore.¡±

With that, Kaneez has requested men to not use her story for their own agendas. ¡°This is not retribution but for personal closure. Please respect this,¡± she concluded.
