All India Bakchod’s Rohan Joshi was accused of groping a young female fan by an unanimous Reddit user recently. A few hours after sharing details about the incident on a Reddit thread, the user took it down and said that it was not true.
The user apologised for his/her actions and said that the intention behind such a post was to expose the ‘schadenfreude’ in today’s world.
The user also went on the say that nobody should believe ‘Indian Fowler’.
Indian Fowler is the name of the user who wrote a blog post on Medium, in which she went to detail the many ways she was sexually harassed by The Viral Fever Founder and CEO Arunabh Kumar.

The original Reddit post (that has since been deleted) said:
“I am sharing my experience here anonymously because he had threatened me to not say anything to anyone. I met Rohan at a bar in Mumbai about a year back, he started to flirt with me and tbh I was awestruck just by the fact that a celebrity found me so pretty. So when later he asked if he could drop me home I said yes. When we reached my home he tried to kiss me, when I refused and pushed him back he started shouting and abusing me saying ‘how dare I refuse him!?’ I started crying then so he calmed down and apologised. But just as I was about to get out of the car he groped my boobs and said ‘f*** off s***’ This experience left me petrified, I had just moved to Mumbai 3 months before the incident and I was living alone away from my family. I couldn’t share this experience with anyone because of the fear that no one will believe me as he is such a huge celebrity on social media. I couldn’t even share the experience with my family as I went against their wishes to move to Mumbai for my job. They would have worried too much and wanted me to come back. But I wanted to share my experience now as these celebrities cannot get away by doing anything they please, they cannot sexually harass women and think that women will be okay with it just because they are rich or famous.
Edit : can’t believe that people are ridiculing me just because I used the term ‘boobs’ What’s wrong with boobs, again? I should refer them as ‘breasts’ or otherwise I am not a decent women ? This was the reason I didn’t share this incident with anyone for an entire year and am afraid of filing a complaint.” (sic)
