Mumbai: A lawyer today filed an application with (MIDC) police station in suburban Andheri, demanding registration of FIR for sexual harassment against Arunabh Kumar, founder of web entertainment firm The Viral Fever (TVF).
The complaint referred to accusations of sexual harassment against Mr Kumar made in a blog post by an anonymous woman who claimed to be a former TVF employee. TVF has denied the allegations.
Advocate Rizwan Siddqiuee, the lawyer, said that a third person can set in motion a criminal case in such matters, so he had approached the police.

"No FIR has been registered yet. We will investigate the matter before taking further action," the officer said.
