Nearly two months ago, the comedy collective All India Bakchod (AIB) had announced that they would remain "dead for the foreseeable future."

Soon after AIB founder Tanmay Bhatt posted a video on Instagram saying how he has "mentally checked out," after "everything that happened in October," stand-up comedian Aditi Mittal lashed out at him.

Writer-comedian Tanmay Bhat has been a part of India's comedy scene for a long time now.

Seven months after the comedy collective went quiet amid a #MeToo storm, All India Bakchod has released a statement.

An anonymous survivor has accused media company Homegrown's co-founder Varun Patra of sexual assault.

With politicians, actors, media persons, comedians, and a host of other people having been accused of sexual harassment, the #MeToo movement in India seems to be nearing full swing.

The Mumbai Academy of Moving Image (MAMI) announced yesterday that the festival has decided to drop AIB's 'Chintu Ka Birthday' and Rajat Kapoor's 'Kadakh' from its showcase as #MeToo storm gathers speed.

Amid allegations of sexual misconduct against All India Bakchod founders, Tanmay Bhat and Gursimran Khamba, the company announced that Bhat would be "stepping away" from business with immediate effect.

Yesterday, comedian Utsav Chakraborty was accused of asking sexually explicit images/videos from minors. He then released a rather twisted apology, and blamed it on a 'disorder'.

Unless you are free from the vice of social media (congratulations to you then), you would be knowing what happened in the last 24 hours.

While Nana Patekar's sexual harassment story is still doing rounds, another similar story has surfaced.
