Renowned investor Mahesh Murthy has rubbished all the fresh accusations made against him. Today morning, there were reports of a second FIR filed against Murthy for allegedly sexually assaulting a girl 14 years ago. According to reports, the woman approached the Bandra police in connection with the matter on March 19, following which an FIR was registered, he said.

In response to all the accusation and the negative news around him, Murthy has issued a statement on his LinkedIn Profile, where he is saying that it is an age-old news, re-hashed and complete balderdash. According to him, "The lady concerned here, Rashmi Bansal makes claims that change from time to time, about what happened at one meeting in broad daylight in a crowded coffee shop some 14 years ago.I sued her for these defamatory claims a year ago, and the honourable High Court granted a stay in my favour. This is her counter attack. Once again, these are completely false allegations and I will fight these ridiculous claims too. I believe the honourable courts will once again find in my favour."

Murthy, 52, is the co-founder of Seedfund and the founder and chief executive officer of Pinstorm Technologies Private Limited, a pay-for-performance digital brand management firm.
