Sona Mohapatra, Anu Malik and Shweta Pandit
Almost a week after Sona Mohapatra called out Anu Malik for being "a serial predator", singer Shweta Pandit accused the music composer of sexual misconduct yesterday. With the industry following a zero-tolerance policy towards sexual harassment, pressure has mounted on Fremantle India, the makers of Indian Idol, and Sony Entertainment to drop Malik from the show. He has judged every season since the reality show began airing in 2004.

According to the post, she met Malik in a cabin at Empire Studio in Andheri — the composer was recording a song with Shaan and Sunidhi Chauhan for Awara Pagal Deewana (2002).
