Amidst the Vikas Bahl sexual assault controversy taking place, there have been multiple fingers being pointed at his Phantom co-founder Anurag Kashyap for staying silent the entire time despite knowing Vikas’ true side. As every action has an equal and opposite reaction, there’s something similar seen in Anurag’s case who has stepped down as the Board member of MAMI (Mumbai Academy Of Moving Image) owing to the aforesaid reason.
Anurag Kashyap took to his twitter to share multiple tweets keeping his side of the story. His series of tweets can be seen here:

He also cleared that he has not been silent about the sexual assault by Vikas on one of the Phatom employee in 2015, and it was she, herself, who decided not to take a legal course of action. He also previously went onto apologize to her.
“On the other hand I vehemently deny to have stayed silent on the issue & not doing anything about it for years. Can’t explain further to people who don’t understand due process, legalities. Have been resilient through all accusations , keep flinging them my way.”

3rd Tweet:
The accused was named and shamed a long time back. For people who don’t read the details & only the headlines, I have no response. A lot of women work with me and have been around , I am answerable to them & they stand witness to our actions &our struggle to do the right thing.
