The #MeToo movement has gained traction in India, with several women gathering up the courage to speak up against sexual perpetrators. Several popular faces have been named and shamed until now, including celebrated people from the fields of acting, filmmaking, writing, journalism and many more. Recently, author Ira Trivedi called out renowned writer Chetan Bhagat and shared her #MeToo story through an online news portal. She previously alleged that he made a pass at her in the room and tried to plant a kiss on her lips to which she laughed, not knowing what else to do.
Retaliating to Ira Trivedi's allegations, author Chetan Bhagat took to Twitter and posted a screenshot that shows Dubey initiating a conversation with him in a flirtatious manner, thus hinting that the 2010 allegations against him might be false. His tweet said "So who wanted to kiss whom? @iratrivedi's self-explanatory email from 2013 to me, esp last line, easily shows her claims from 2010 are false, and she knows this too. This mental harassment of me and my family has to stop. Please don't harm a movement with #fakecharges #harassed"
Chetan Bhagat
Shame on media like @outlookindia who carried a fake charges story without even checking with me. They could have easily checked on YouTube that I launched her book in 2015/16. Who calls their harasser as chief guest for their book launch? Video here: https://t.co/g6uIOVLjeS
