Complaint Filed Against T- Series Head Bhushan Kumar Over Sexual Harassment - Is #MeToo Slowly Gaining Momentum Again?

Looks like the #MeToo movement is slowly gaining momentum yet again. After Rajkumar Hirani, T- Series head honcho Bhushan Kumar is in trouble as a woman has lodged a complaint of sexual harassment against him. As per a report in ABP Live, the girl, who has chosen to be anonymous, has made claims that Bhushan sexually exploited her under the pretext of helping her in getting work in his company. It was during the release of film Bhoomi when they met for the first time and exchanged numbers. The website has the copy of the complaint which was filed at Mumbai's Oshiwara police station. #MeToo in Bollywood: Javed Akhtar Gets Slammed for Defending Rajkumar Hirani over the Sexual Harassment Row.

When the #MeToo movement in Bollywood was at its peak, another woman had alleged that Bhushan Kumar sexually harassed her. She took to Twitter to share her ordeal where she alleged that he asked for sexual favours in exchange of work. The girl's identity was anonymous. Kumar, who is the producer of 'Why Cheat India' has refused all such claims and allegations against him. Rajkumar Hirani, who has been accused by his Assistant Producer of sexual misconduct, too, has denied all allegations against him. He even issued a public statement calling out the lady's claims 'malicious'.
