All India Bakchod founder Gursimran Khamba denied “any violation of consent” after allegations of sexual harassment against him surfaced on Monday, 8 October.
In a tweet shared by another Twitter user, a girl has anonymously alleged that after they had hooked up two or three times consensually, Gursimran Khamba had forcibly tried to “make out” with her.
Khamba responded to the allegation through a statement, in which he apologised for his “bad behaviour” but denied breach of consent. He said that while he did develop feelings for her when she was dating someone else, he was “not forceful.”
This comes close on the heels of a slew of sexual harassment allegations levelled by women against their co-workers and acquaintances – sparking India’s own #MeToo movement.
