BCCI CEO Rahul Johri, who was accused of sexual harassment by an anonymous ex-coworker, has been told to skip the ICC chief executives’ meet, to be held in Singapore.
Vinod Rai, head of the Supreme Court appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA), which took the decision, said: “There are certain media reports today, including in the social media, pertaining to Rahul Johri, CEO BCCI. The reports disclose allegations of sexual harassment made against Johri by an unnamed person through a Twitter handle. The allegations also relate to his previous employment with a large media house. The allegations have appeared as a part of the ‘me too’ movement.”
