#MeToo Movement: Producer Bhushan Kumar denies allegations, to lodge complaint with cyber cell to track anonymous Twitter user

Producer Bhushan Kumar has denied the sexual harassment allegations against him, saying the claims are being used as a “tool to malign his reputation.”
For the uninitiated, an anonymous Twitter user, claiming to be an actress, accused Kumar of propositioning her on the pretext of signing a three-movie contract with his production house. When she refused Kumar's offer he allegedly threatened her against telling anyone or he would “not let me survive in this city,” she said.

"I am appalled and anguished to know that my name has been dragged in this #MeToo by some anonymous person(s). The allegations against me are bad on the face of it. I have enjoyed an impeccable reputation and have always maintained professionalism. The tweet has been used as a tool to defame me and malign my reputation," Kumar said in a statement.
The producer said he would be lodging a complaint with the cyber cell of the Mumbai Police.
"I have taken this allegation very seriously and lodging a complaint with the cyber cell of the Mumbai Police to track the mysterious people(s) whose twitter handles have disappeared within seconds of uploading the malicious tweet. I'll take all such actions as I will be legally advised," he added.
Many big names in the Bollywood film industry such as Vikas Bahl, Subhash Ghai, Nana Patekar, Alok Nath and Sajid Khan stand accused of harassment as India's #MeToo movement picks up steam.
