BCCI's Rahul Johri Cleared In Sex Harassment Case, Free To Resume Office

The Committee of Administrators' three-member probe panel cleared Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) CEO Rahul Johri of allegations of sexual harassment on Wednesday, dismissing the charges levelled by two women as "mischievous and fabricated". "The allegations of sexual harassment in the office or elsewhere are false, baseless and have been fabricated and manufactured with an ulterior motive to harm Mr. Rahul Johri...," head of the probe committee Justice (retd) Rakesh Sharma stated in his findings. The three-member probe panel also comprised former Delhi Commission of Women chairperson Barkha Singh and lawyer-activist Veena Gowda.
