Soon, other women started sharing their stories and about nine women have come forward accusing Kumar.

TVF CEO Arunabh Kumar

Today, an unverified user put out a post accusing AIB star Rohan Joshi of sexual harassment a year ago. Within two hours, the post was pulled out and he or she apologised for the post and said what a great guy Rohan is. You must be wondering what is happening? Well, the user further explains the reason for doing -  Indian Fowler shouldn't be believed. 

Take a look at the post apologising and trying to prove a point:

Indian Fowler is a TVF ex-employee who has shared her experience with Arunabh Kumar while working with him for about two years.  Here's the post accusing Joshi:

Rohan Joshi was among the ones who slammed TVF for an insensitive post.  AIB members backed the victim with these tweets:

TVF's rebuttal suggests no investigation of any sort. If they're all lies, what better way to prove that than investigate impartially?

@Femme_Furious Depending on what an impartial investigation reveals, one of the two people here is looking at (I hope) serious consequences

Much to process after all that's been read today. I hope there's a fair investigation that's followed in the coming days to come.

Silence from the comedy community is deafening.EVERYONE still"texting contacts"/"verifying facts" inspite of hearing stories abt it for yrs?

Meanwhile, Joshi has responded to the 'unverified' Redditor with these tweets:

Right. Several people have drawn my attention to this, so I'd like to address it in no uncertain terms https://t.co/w0sjAIgwzD

— Rohan (@mojorojo) March 14, 2017

I would like to state categorically that this did not happen. I am open and willing, and even urge @MumbaiPolice to investigate this

— Rohan (@mojorojo) March 14, 2017

I cannot & will not respond to the slurs being thrown at me for this because any defence plays into typical victim-shaming narratives
