The Maharashtra State Women's Commission has approached the Pune city police following the flood of sexually harassment allegations on social media against the owner of Pune-based High Spirits Cafe, Khodu Irani. They have also requested victims to come forward and have assured them all help. A few survivors have, however, said they would be seeking legal opinion first. When mid-day approached a couple of survivors, they said, "We are still in shock about what we have been through. Our parents are unaware of this hence, we are going to first speak to a lawyer before approaching the police."
