The MeToo movement is seeing a new light in India as women across fields and boundaries are rightfully naming and shaming those who have harassed them not just physically but also mentally. After names of Alok Nath, Rajat Kapoor, Vikas Bahl, Utsav Chakraborty, Khamba, among others coming to the fore, another name to have come under the radar is Rohit Roy, brother of acclaimed actor Ronit Roy. A journalist shared an anonymous account of a woman, a journalist herself, who has accused Rohit of harassing her when she was 16. She has mentioned in the course of the chat how Rohit allegedly would try and get her to kiss him.

Anonymous account from a woman who's been persistently harassed by actor Rohit Roy (@/rohitroy500) since she was 16. The clincher? He hasn't yet stopped preying on her.

When we contacted Rohit to know his side, he vehemently denied it and in fact said that it is not him. When told that his Twitter account has been tagged in the post, he said, "Sorry to disappoint but it is not me, Rohit Roy. Earlier in the day, Alok Nath, who has been accused of harassing and raping Tara producer Vinta Nanda, in an interview said that this is all a "figment of her imagination. He went on to add that people are using his name to tarnish his image. Not just that he also said that whenever such things happen, both the people are at fault. CINTAA is currently looking into the matter and seeking legal advice to know if they can send a show cause notice to Alok without having received an official complaint from the victim.
