After The Viral Fever (TVF) CEO Arunabh Kumar was accused of sexual harassment, an anonymous Reddit user alleged All India Bakchod's (AIB) Rohan Joshi 'groped' her, but later deleted the post and said it was fake.
It all started when a user going by the name 'shadenfreude557' on Reddit alleged that she was 'groped' by Rohan Joshi last year.
Here's a screenshot of the 'fake' post:

Rohan Joshi took to Twitter to rubbish the allegations and urged Mumbai police to initiate a probe into the accusations.
Here's what Rohan Joshi tweeted:
Right. Several people have drawn my attention to this, so I'd like to address it in no uncertain terms https://t.co/w0sjAIgwzD
— Rohan (@mojorojo) 14 March 2017
I would like to state categorically that this did not happen. I am open and willing, and even urge @MumbaiPolice to investigate this
— Rohan (@mojorojo) 14 March 2017
I cannot & will not respond to the slurs being thrown at me for this because any defence plays into typical victim-shaming narratives
— Rohan (@mojorojo) 14 March 2017
But any competent authority who wants to investigate is welcome to, and I encourage whoever wrote that to pursue the matter earnestly.
— Rohan (@mojorojo) 14 March 2017
Aaanndd yeah, that's that, I guess.

Later, the user retracted her statement and clarified that the incident never took place. The user said that it was an attempt to 'expose schadenfreude in today's world' and apologised.
Sigh. I have no idea what is going on anymore. I think I've had enough internet for the week. https://t.co/XzggjLBlqf

Here's a screenshot of what the user wrote after deleting the 'fake' post:

Rohan Joshi still welcomed an investigation into the matter. He tweeted:
I still welcome any investigation, for the record. Feel free to expand it into an investigation on whether I threatened anyone even https://t.co/AxeKJMECTQ
