Second case of sexual harassment against TVF's Arunabh Kumar

MUMBAI: A second case of sexual harassment has been registered against TVFCEO Arunabh Kumar.

On Thursday, another victim came forward and registered a case against him at the Versova police station.

On Wednesday, a 27-year-old writer-director had lodged the first FIR with the MIDC police station alleging that Kumar inappropriately touched her and even made gestures in 2016 during a shoot of a Web series production.

Assistant Commissioner of Police (DN Nagar division) Arun Chavan confirmed TOI about the FIR registered by a woman who was employed with the TVF CEO.

"The victim has worked with Kumar's in 2014 and she claimed it was then he misbehaved with her. A case under IPC section 354 (A) (sexual harassment of the nature of unwelcome physical contact and advances or a demand or request for sexual favours) against Kumar with the Versova police," said Chavan.

Earlier this month, an anonymous blog post by a woman, alleging sexual harassment by Kumar when she was working at TVF between 2014 and 2016, went viral on the social media.

It was followed by similar allegations by some other women.

TVF had denied all the allegations and had said it would "leave no stone unturned to find the author of the article and bring them to severe justice for making such false allegations."

Kumar, an IIT graduate, founded TVF in 2011.
