An 18-year-old Pakistani girl levelled allegations of sexual harassment against Khalid Bajwa, the CEO of Pakistani music-streaming service Patari through a series of tweets on Wednesday.
Patari was founded in February 2015 by Bajwa, Iqbal Talaat Bhatti and Humayun Haroon, and is reportedly the largest music-streaming service in Pakistan.
Bajwa is a popular name among millennials in Pakistan.
Minutes after the girl put out the following tweets, Twitter was buzzing with similar stories against the man.
The 18-year-old opened up to The Quint, saying:
It was textbook harassment, she said.
After the social media outrage against the man, Patari was quick to put out the following statement.
A day later, Patari investor issued the following statement:
The Quint independently tried to contact Patari. However, we received no response from them. Khalid Bajwa has now deleted his Twitter account.
No formal complaint has been registered against Bajwa as of now. This story will be updated if and when we get a response.
