Co-founder of talent management agency KWAN Anirban Blah was rescued by the Vashi Traffic Police in the small hours of Friday after he was found attempting to jump off the old Vashi bridge.
Blah is accused of sexual harassment by four women during the ongoing #MeToo movement. He had to resign from the firm after the business reportedly went down. He was also asked by his partners to step down from his position, after the allegations surfaced. The incident took place at 12:30 am on Friday. Blah was seen exiting a cab a little far off the bridge, the police said. A traffic constable saw him walking on the isolated bridge and questioned him for roaming around the area at that time
Blah was then caught and taken to the Vashi police. He admitted to the police that he was depressed since allegations against him were made, which made him want to end his life. Vashi Traffic Senior Inspector Satish Gaikwad said that Blah underwent counselling and was handed over to his family members at 3:00 am after his detailed statement was recorded. There has been no case of offence registered against him in the matter.
