While the #MeToo movement has inspired women to come forward and report sexual harassment at the workplace, many are suffering the consequences for calling out harassers. Case in point: four saleswomen who worked at kiosks inside the Colaba outlet of the Sahakari Bhandar claim they were asked to stop working there, months after they complained about their Peeping Tom manager Dhanraj Eknath Darekar, who would allegedly secretly film them changing clothes.

Prior to being allegedly sacked, the women were working at the cosmetic products kiosk inside the store. Over a fortnight, several women had noticed someone secretly trying to film them while they were changing out of their work uniforms in the evening in the outlet's washroom. The Peeping Tom they were trying to scare away was Darekar. However, he would find a way to hide whenever the girls raised an alarm from inside the washroom.
