Singer Anu Malik was recently accused of sexual harassment by Shweta Pandit and Sona Mohapatra following which two more survivors opened up on their horrific experiences with the Bollywood singer. Malik vehemently denied knowing Sona and denied allegations levelled on him by Shweta. Following the allegations, Anu who was co-judging the reality show Indian Idol Season 10 alongside Neha Kakkar and Vishal Dadlani has been asked to step down as the judge, sources close to the development exclusively revealed it to PINKVILLA.

Ever since the allegations against Malik came to the foray, the channel, who takes the matters related to sexual harassment very seriously, had been internally discussing the matter and has now decided to drop Anu as the judge till further case is investigated. Sources confirm that he won't be shooting any further episodes.

An official annoucement on the same is expected in the morning hours. We tried reaching out to Anu Malik and will update his response, if and when he does. Meanwhile, it must be noted that Anu Malik has been the only judge to have been a part of most of the seasons for Indian Idol.

Even Alisha Chinoy had accused him of sexual harassment in the 90s. Der aaye durust aaye.

👏👏👏👏👏

I hope whatever little work was coming his way stops too.

Sadly such people only realize their mistakes when they go through bad times.

I feel bad for his family who have to face this coz of him.
