Mumbai/Bhubaneswar: Singer Sona Mohapatra has questioned Anu Malik’s coming back as a judge of the popular singing reality show Indian Idol, telecast on Sony TV.

Despite complaints of sexual harassment against Anu Malik, he is now on the seat of a judge in the reality show, said Sona.

She has also criticised many others in the music industry for allegedly not speaking up against sexual harassment at the workplace prevalent in the industry.

Sona in an open letter, has mentioned that Neha Bhasin, Shweta Pandit, Anu Malik’s doctor’s 14-year-old daughter and many others had raised their voice against the sexual harassment by the music director.
