Woman alleges molestation charges against TVF's Arunabh Kumar; TVF calls it 'baseless'
TVF denies allegations levelled against CEO Arunabh Kumar by a woman in an anonymous post today. The woman alleged TVF founder of molesting her while she worked at the TVF office in Mumbai.
An anonymous post by a former employee of the popular YouTube channel The Viral Fever (TVF) has made the headlines today. The anonymous woman in her post has alleged that she was molested by the TVF founder Arunabh Kumar while she worked with the company at their Mumbai office.
Through the article by the headline, "The Indian Uber- That is TVF" the woman recounts how the Arunabh allegedly molested her a number of times. "Right from Pitchers to Tripling, i was molested. Be it in parties where Arunabh would try to lift me or would try and fall on me pretending he is drunk," she wrote.
She further added that even her mom asked her not to take up the case further as a 24-year-old girl cannot fight an IIT graduate with that kind of money.
"I walked out of the place last year. Jobless, Mindless. I dont have much to say. I am not as strong as many other women. I just need my life back. I dont think these guys would let me have one. The constant reminders from their legal on my obligations tells me that i am being tracked," the 24-year-old wrote.
As soon as the story went viral, TVF through an official statement rebutted any such charges calling it "baseless and false and unverified."
Here is the official statement by TVF as shared by a leading daily:
"This is an official response from TVF on the anonymous article published on Medium by the Indian Fowler. The article is completely ludicrous and defamatory against TVF and its team.
All the allegations made against TVF and its team in the article are categorically false, baseless and unverified.
We take a lot of pride in our team and in making TVF a safe workplace that is equally comfortable for women and men.
We will leave no stone unturned to find the author of the article and bring them to severe justice for making such false allegations.
It is our humble request that you do not share an unsubstantiated, unverified and anonymous article such as this.
We would like to thank all our fans and friends for their continued support."
