To this query, I was informed by Mr. Rizwan Raees that she has said that I had sexually harassed her at some occasions in the past. I was further shocked and asked where, when, and how?. The message further added: tell Ali to quietly step aside from the Pepsi Battle of the Bands because if he does not, I will make an allegation against him on social media using the #MeToo Movement. The message further added that when I come out publicly with the allegation, I will not be alone; I will have other women with me and the #MeToo Movement and the press and the sympathy of the people being a woman.
He should be smart enough to understand that he could not fight so many women and he should just carry on with his daily life but just step aside from the Pepsi Battle of the Bands deal. My reply was that if anything as she mentions happened, she should with her husband be able to come to my house and say this to my face in front of my wife and in front of her husband. If I had done any such thing, I would like to apologize there and then and also happily let go of the Pepsi deal. Her reply to my message was as per my expectation; she, despite knowing me and my wife since childhood, refused to come face to face with me and said she will consult her legal team.
