'I've Been a Piece of S**t', Says Comedian Utsav Chakraborty After Being Accused of Sexual Misconduct; AIB Pulls Down Videos
Friday, October 5, 2018 IST
Prominent stand-up comedians such as Varun Grover, Aditi Mittal and Kaneez Surka have called out the comedian.
Mumbai: Comedy group AIB has said it has decided to de-list every video featuring a former member who has been accused of sexual harassment by women on social media.
AIB said it has been following the allegations against Utsav Chakraborty on social media and these describe a pattern of behaviour that is unacceptable.
“We are also aware that by extending safe working spaces and a collaborative environment to people like Utsav, we have contributed towards a toxic environment that can be scary and unsafe for women. And so we are sorry for any part we may have played in the tolerance or furthering of such behaviour,” AIB said in a statement posted on Twitter.
“If these allegations result in any investigation, the team at AIB would be willing to cooperate and extend full support to it. Also, pending the result of any such investigation, we are immediately delisting every single video on our channels that feature Utsav,” it said.
The group said Utsav never worked as a head writer and is no longer a part of the organisation.
