In his Instagram post Babil shared images of notes penned down by him, on how the #MeToo campaign which was introduced to help the victims of sexual assaults to get justice has been used to malign someone’s image.

Babil Khan’s Instagram post’s caption read, “Chin up, Anurag sir. I know you all are gonna hate me for this but I’ve got to stand up when something feels wrong. A lot of people in the comments are asking ‘What if the girl is right?’ I am trusting my judgement, I will take responsibility for my words if I’m wrong.”
