Anirban Das Blah
Anirban Blah, co-founder of talent agency Kwan Entertainment, was rescued by the traffic police on Friday while attempting suicide on old Vashi bridge. On October 16, four anonymous women had levelled allegations of sexual harassment against Das, speaking exclusively to mid-day. Following this paper's report, Blah was asked by Kwan's management to "step aside" from his position on Tuesday afternoon.
The incident happened around 12.30 am when the traffic police received a tip-off about a man trying to jump off Vashi bridge. During counselling by the police, Blah said that was depressed after losing his job.
An actress shared her two-year-long ordeal which started with Blah bumping into her at a meeting and later asking her to participate in an âunnatural sex set-up'. Another model told mid-day that Blah had asked her to strip when she visited his home for a professional meeting.
