The raging MeToo campaign took a new dimension on Wednesday, when South African artist and comedian Kaneez Surka accused stand-up comedian Aditi Mittal, who had appeared in AIB collective, of forcibly kissing her.
"Out of my belief that the opportunity to reform is the only way forward, yesterday, once again, I spoke to her through a mutual friend and requested her to come out with a public apology and save me the pain of having to reveal her identity. Despite having acknowledged it earlier, she denied kissing me on my mouth, gaslighted me and asked me to cross check. I have proof but I thought we believe the victim. Her actions yesterday have further burdened me with the task of having to do this but I don't want to be silent anymore," she wrote on the microblogging site.
