Music
composer
Anu
Malik,
who
has
been
accused
of
sexual
harassment
and
misconduct
by
several
singers
had
stepped
down
as
Indian
Idol
11
judge
after
the
National
Commission
for
Women
(NCW)
sent
a
notice
to
Sony
TV.
But
in
a
rather
shocking
turn
of
events,
the
commission
recently
announced
that
they
would
be
closing
the
sexual
harassment
case
against
the
music
composer
due
to
“due
to
lack
of
communication,
substantial
evidence
sought
from
the
complainant”.
Complainant
Sona
Mohapatra
on
Friday,
took
to
social
media
to
refute
the
claims
being
made
by
the
NCW.
She
wrote,
“Please
note
India,
this
is
untrue.
I
have
painstakingly
collated
all
the
multiple
testimonies
of
several
women
&
mailed
the
same
to
NCW.
Requested
to
talk
to
the
chairperson.
Only
received
terse
&
unkind
one
liners
in
return
from
them.
Zero
concern
&
no
real
interest
in
women.”
(sic)
For
the
uninitiated,
in
a
recent
interview
with
a
daily,
the
NCW
chairperson
Rekha
Sharma
had
stated,
"We
wrote
to
the
complainant.
She
said
she
was
travelling
and
whenever
she
returns,
she
will
visit
us.
We
waited
for
around
45
days.
We
had
also
asked
for
some
documents,
but
after
that
she
never
responded.
The
complainant
had
informed
us
that
there
are
more
women
who
have
complaints
against
Anu
Malik
and
we
told
her
that
they
can
also
file
a
complaint
with
us
but
none
of
them
have
responded
yet."
