AIB comedian Utsav Chakraborty, who is often seen in videos produced by the comedy group, lands in some trouble when a woman leaked a string of obscene messages by him on Twitter. In a series of tweets, she accused Utsav of sending offensive messages asking for nudes to the minors on the social media. The bombardment of accusations started when the comedian condemned an act of sexual harassment by Indian men on Twitter. Replying on his tweet, the woman revealed how Utsav himself is a predator and by no means, he is the right person to be commenting on the incident.
Also, in her Twitter thread, she shared the similar stories from many girls who spoke to her in her DMs about the abuse they faced in the hands of the famous AIB comedian.
She wrote, “Saw this on my tl. Interesting for you to comment on how Indian men harass women. Irony is still alive and thriving. Did they send unsolicited dick picks or that's safely only your territory? Or like cry after saying you'll ruin their career if you tell others? Or will they also blame that on the girls? The harassment they got that is.”
Comedian Aditi Mittal also slammed Utsav Chakraborty for his behaviour after going through n number of cases that tell a similar story.
She tweeted, “What's up with this Utsav? Your behaviour has been consistently misogynist for a while and you keep pretending to be woke like your boyfriends at AIB who keep you employed as well. Women don't feel safe around you. What are you doing about this?"
After much social media outrage, AIB issued an official statement announcing Utsav Chakraborty’s removal from the comedy group. They also promised to remove all the videos which feature the comedian in them.
On Thursday, Utsav Chakraborty released an official statement on the entire incident asking people to be patient.
