At least 10 women have alleged sexual harassment at Doordarshan. Indian Express reports that the confirmation of the news came from law firm Bhandari & Associates which has spoken to the women.

Indian Express states that the Indian Women Press Corps held a press conference where Varuna Bhandari moderated while three women spoke. Bhandari said: “During mediation, I came across one of the victims and she sought some relief, but the issue was much larger than that. After investigation, we spoke to 10 such women, six from Delhi, one from Bhopal, Jaipur and two from other places, and the details were horrific.”

The report says one woman had accused her two bosses of sexual harassment at Doordarshan in 2015. She was subsequently terminated. Another woman accused an employee of sexual harassment and “her salary was put on hold since March”.
