From celebrities to journalists to ministers, India’s #MeToo movement is taking down
powerful men in its wake. After journalist Priya Ramani accused junior foreign minister MJ Akbar of inappropriate behaviour, several women came forward with similar stories. Earlier,
AIB co-founder Tanmay Bhat stepped down for inaction after a woman accused his former colleague Utsav Chakraborty of sexual assault even as Gursimran Khamba, another AIB co-founder, was “put on temporary leave” following sexual harassment allegations. Other big names include
Hindustan Times’ Prashant Jha, actors Nana Patekar and Alok Nath,
film director Vikas Bahl and author Chetan Bhagat.
