Bcci Ceo Rahul Johri Goes On Leave To Prepare Response After Another #Metoo Allegation

Even as he prepares his response to the anonymous sexual harassment charge levelled against him last week, trouble seems to be brewing for BCCI CEO Rahul Johri on another front. A report in the Telegraph Newspaper claims that voices within the board are asking for a similar complaint against Johri to be revisited. As per the report, an employee of the board had complained to the head of the Supreme Court Appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA), Vinod Rai and his colleague Diana Edulji earlier this year about Johri’s conduct.

Sources, quoted by the paper, say the complainant had “resigned” from her role but had been “persuaded” by Rai to take it back after at least two meetings were held. One meeting featured Rai, the lady and her husband and the other was between Johri, the lady and one of the most senior and well-connected men in the Board. Johri is said to have given a “written apology” but the report says this wasn’t confirmed.
