The #MeToo movement is spreading in India no less than wildfire. Women are opening up about their experiences of sexual harassment at the workplace or otherwise. The Bollywood industry is also mired in shocking revelations against actors, directors and singers about sexual abuse and harassment. The web space too has been attacked and comedy group All India Bakchod is making it to headlines. An anonymous report from a girl has accused comedian Gursimran Khamba of sexual harassment and emotional abuse. The comedian has given his apology and said it was no case of violation of consent at any point in time. AIB Collaborator Babu Haabi Accused of Rape.

The group cleared their stand and apologised on social media, but clearly, that wasn't enough. Now Gursimran Khamba has been accused by a woman of forcing himself on her and emotional abuse.
