Following the molestation case filed against ‘The Viral Fever’ CEO Arunabh Kumar, investigating inspector Padmakar Devre from Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) on Thursday said the case has been registered under Sections 354 A and 509 of the IPC.

He said the complainant is not Kumar’s employee and added that the investigation is under way.

A case of molestation was filed against Kumar on Wednesday following the complaint of a victim at the MIDC Police Station.

Earlier on March 14, the TVF had formed a committee to look into the allegations of sexual harassment against Kumar. The committee had members from the HR and administration department of TVF.

In its official statement, TVF said, "We will leave no stone unturned to find the author of the article and bring them to serve justice for making such false allegations."

However, a few TVF employees rubbished the allegations of sexual harassment against Kumar even as many have come forward criticising the TVF team for refusing to probe the allegations.

AIB team members Rohan and Tanmay Bhatt also took to Twitter, suggesting the organisation to probe the matter.

Earlier this month, around 50 women had come forward on social media and complained against Kumar. However, none of them filed a complaint.

The police were considering dropping the case as no victim had come forward to speak about the alleged harassment they faced.
