The #MeToo movement in India has finally caught up and names of ‘prestigious’ personalities including MJ Akbar, Alok Nath, Subhash Ghai, Vikas Bahl, Sajid Khan, have shockingly come to the fore and many more names are joining daily.
Now the recent name that has joined the shocking shameful list is BCCI CEO, Rahul Johri. He has been accused of sexual harassment by an anonymous journalist whose account was shared on Twitter by Harnidh Kaur, NewsBytes reports.
The Journalist and Rahul met through work said the journalist. The journalist added he assaulted her at his residence when his wife Seema was not present at home.
In her account shared on Twitter, the anonymous journalist wrote that Rahul stayed in touch with her since he was building a media house back then, they would often meet at parties, and she had even invited his wife Seema and her child for dinner at her place.
But shocking one when discussing work and various job prospects for the journalist, he suggested going to his place during the meeting.
She says she readily agreed to it thinking she has already met his wife Seema and she would be comfortable with her presence at home but to her shock, Seema was not present at the house nor was their child present.
After entering the house, the journalist asked for water which he did bring but things got ugly after some time.
The journalist was too shocked to react when Rahul suddenly took off his pants and stood in front of her.
The journalist wrote what happened next was shameful to write but she needs to speak up against the predator who has assaulted her.
The journalist wrote he told her no one would know what happens between them and that he touched her inappropriately, even forcing her for fellatio.
She wrote she was shaking throughout what happened from coffee over the meeting to her visit to Rahul’s house.
She even cursed herself for it, thinking it was her fault all this while she said.
Meanwhile, no comments have come up from Rahul yet.
Rahul is responsible for the functioning of operations, stakeholder management and building strategies, to promote cricket in the country.
