Mumbai: City-based lawyer Rizwan Siddiquee on Thursday submitted letters to the Andheri police and the office of the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai seeking an FIR against Arunabh Kumar, CEO of The Viral Fever, over allegations of sexual harassment levelled against him on social media.

Earlier this month, Mr. Kumar was accused by several of his ex-employees of sexual harassment. He had denied all allegations saying that he was ready to face any investigation. The police had also put out a tweet asking victims to come forward and register a complaint so that an investigation can be initiated.

No FIR has been filed against Mr. Kumar as yet, police said.
