 Sexual harassment allegations against T-Series honcho Bhushan Kumar

Amidst the raging #MeToo storm, T-Series honcho and producer Bhushan Kumar has again been accused of sexual harassment by a struggler. There are allegations against him of trading roles for sexual favours. A complaint has been filed at Oshiwara police station, however, no FIR has been registered yet

The girl allegedly met the producer during Bhoomi screening, where they exchanged numbers. They even met during Diwali party. The woman, who chose to remain anonymous said that Bhushan Kumar asked for sexual favours in return for work. It should be noted that this is the second #MeToo allegation against T-Series honcho. Earlier, in October last year, a Twitter account with #YouTubeBollywood tweeted a post against Bhushan Kumar. Accusing him of being a sexual predator, the woman narrated the incident.''I was new and I was scared, very scared!! The next day i got to know that i was dropped from the film bcoz i had refused to sleep with the ‘boss’,” said the anonymous account.

She further writes that how sexual predators in the industry are misusing their power to harass girls. Even after some of the girls accept the offer, they refuse to cast them in films, the post reads. Back then, Kumar refuted allegations against him by issuing a statement.
