Taking it to the respective Instagram account, TTT said that Chintan “will not be associated in any way with TTT, indefinitely”. The organisation further stated, “We’d like to reiterate that this behaviour, in no way, reflects the work culture and environment at TTT”. Clarifying their stand, TTT wrote, “We have always been a close-knit community of writers from all walks of life, and this is affecting each and every one of us. We’re here, if you want to ask questions, we’re not running away from this.”
The allegations have come at a time when many women are taking to social media to share their #MeToo incidents. #MeToo movement, the social media movement which grabbed eyeballs last year has reached the Indian shores only recently.
Recently, a noted female writer-producer shared a heart-wrenching account of the alleged sexual assault suffered at the hands of Alok Nath.
