Accused In #MeToo Sexual Harassment, Kwan's Anirban Blah Allegedly Tries To Commit Suicide
This is now going to another level. An extremely frustrated Anirban Blah was saved by the police last night, who say that they had a tip-off of a suicide where he was apprehended just in time
The Hindu has come out with a big story, from which we
learn that Anirban Blah, the co-founder of Kwan Entertainment, one of the
biggest celebrity management agencies in India, apparently tried to end his
life at Vashi Brisdge in the wee hours of Friday. The incident happened at
around 12.30 am when traffic police got a tip-off about the alleged suicide.
The celebrity manager who has been named and shamed in the on-going #MeToo
campaign in complaints by 4 girls to Kwan followed by the constituting of a
Shona Urvashi committee, was sacked by the company and absolved off his
shareholdings, as confirmed by his brother Indranil Blah EXCLUSIVELY to
SpotboyE.com in an interview which we published last night. Blah was seen
climbing on the barricades of the bridge when the police caught hold of him and
made him get down.
"We had information about an individual
coming towards Vashi bridge to commit suicide. We couldn't take chance and we
laid a trap there in dark," senior police inspector Mr Gaikwad from Vashi
traffic told The Hindu."He was crying. He seemed very frustrated and
depressed. We took him to the police chowky, offered him water and asked his
problem to which he said that he was frustrated with the #Metoo allegations on
him. He was depressed due to the defamation he and his family faced. He along
with nine other partners had founded KWAN and after four girls alleged him of
harassment in #MeToo campaign, he was asked to resign," Mr Gaikwad further
said.

Anirban's wife was immediately called and she took him
home. "The traffic police handed him to us but we haven't charged him as
he has not done any (suicidal) act. He told us that he had come for a walk at
the bridge. After his family reached, we handed him over to them," senior
police inspector Anil Deshmukh from Vashi police station told The Hindu.
