November 13, 2018 10:56

Senior journalist Gaurav Sawant responds to allegations of molestation: "The article published by Caravan is irresponsible, baseless, and completely false. I am talking to my lawyers and will take full legal action. So grateful to my family, friends, and viewers for their support."

A woman journalist has accused Sawant, a TV anchor, of sexually harassing her around 15 years ago. She said the incident happened during an off-site when India Today's executive editor Gaurav Sawant allegedly molested her and then showed up for a "shower together". The incident was appeared in the The Caravan magazine.
