After #Metoo allegations Anu Malik no longer part of 'Indian Idol'

New Delhi [India], Oct 21(ANI): Singer, music composer, Anu Malik will no longer judge the reality show 'Indian Idol' owing to sexual harassment allegations levelled against him, said Sony TV in a statement.
Sony Entertainment Television released an official statement saying that -'Anu Mallik is no longer a part of the Indian Idol jury panel. The show will continue according to its planned schedule and we will invite some of the biggest names in Indian music as guests to join Vishal Dadlani and Neha Kakkar to judge the extraordinary talent of Indian Idol season 10.'
Following the #MeToo movement, Anu Malik was recently accused of sexual harassment by Shweta Pandit and Sona Mohapatra following which two more survivors opened up on their horrific experiences with the Bollywood singer.
The movement gained momentum in India after Bollywood actor Tanushree Dutta accused Nata Patekar of allegedly misbehaving with her during a film shoot in 2008.
Since then, scores of women have come out to speak about their ordeals on social media, including actors, musicians, journalists, and politicians.
Over the last month, women have leveled allegations of sexual misconduct against Subhash Ghai, Alok Nath, Vikas Bahl, Kailash Kher, Chetan Bhagat, Sajid Khan, and Varun Grover, among others. (ANI)
