The allegations of molestation and harassment made against The Viral Fever (TVF) founder and CEO Arunabh Kumar by ex-female colleagues is increasing with each passing day. After an anonymous user by the name of Indian Fowler published a post on a site “Medium” alleging that she was se*ually harassed by Arunabh, many other ex-female employees have come out to reveal the same incident faced by them.
In a shocking turn of events, not one or two but 50 complaints against the TVF founder have come out. Reportedly, the twitter handle of which the first blog was shared of the ex-employee that went viral, has now received over 50 direct messages from women opening up about the similar experience with Arunabh. The person handling the account will share the information publicly only after being investigated thoroughly and are verified.
Meanwhile, TVF team is not ready to accept the allegations and is trying to track down the writer of the anonymous blog post as well as other ex-employees. The team is also looking into the matter to see if the claims are true.
While so many ex-employees have come out with allegations against Arunabh, the CEO has rubbished and denied the allegations put on him of molesting and harassing women at his office. Earlier, in a statement, a TVF spokesperson said, “The article is completely ludicrous and defamatory against TVF and its team. All the allegations made against TVF and its team in the article are categorically false, baseless and unverified. We take a lot of pride in our team and in making TVF a safe workplace that is equally comfortable for women and men. We will leave no stone unturned to find the author of the article and bring them to severe justice for making such false allegations.”
An anonymous blog titled ‘The Indian Uber – That is TVF’ reads Arunabh Kumar how from Pitchers to Tripling she was daily being harassed by him.
