In a plot twist worthy of a political thriller, Shashi Tharoor finds himself at the center of a MeToo maelstrom. Supreme Court lawyer Jai Anant Dehadrai dropped a bombshell on social media. He exposed shocking allegations leveled against Shashi Tharoor by a victim whose identity remains shrouded in secrecy.

Admirer To Victim of Shashi Tharoor​


The victim, once an ardent admirer of Shashi Tharoor now paints a chilling picture of discomfort and harassment. It occurred during not one, but two encounters with the politician.

According to leaked screenshots of their conversation, the victim recounts feeling like prey under Tharoor’s intense gaze, his hands lingering where they shouldn’t and his eyes fixated on, well, let’s just say parts not typically the focus of polite conversation.

The first alleged incident unfolded at the launch of Tharoor’s book, “B. R. Ambedkar: The Man Who Gave Hope to India’s Dispossessed,” back in October 2022. As Tharoor mingled with admirers and power players, our victim found herself caught in a nightmare scenario. A seemingly innocent handshake turned into a scene from a horror movie. Tharoor reportedly squeezing her hand with an uncomfortable pressure while mentally undressing her with his eyes.

THIS is Shashi Tharoor’s reality – sickening and grotesque – this vile man should be in jail. Happy to place this under sealed cover to protect the victim’s identity before any Court in India: | PC X: @jai_a_dehadrai

Fast forward to another event, this time Amrit Mathur’s book launch, and our victim finds herself in the same uncomfortable spotlight. Tharoor’s alleged creepy stares and unsettling advances made her question her idolization of the politician. It’s a classic case of hero to zero, with Tharoor’s alleged behavior leaving our victim feeling more disillusioned than a Game of Thrones fan after the series finale.

Jai Anant To The Rescue!​


Enter Jai Anant Dehadrai, the legal eagle with a penchant for stirring the pot. Known for his vocal disdain for Tharoor, Dehadrai wasted no time in amplifying the victim’s claims on social media. His past beef with TMC MP Mahua Moitra adds a delicious layer of intrigue to the mix, painting a picture of political rivalries and personal vendettas worthy of a Netflix series.

As the scandal unfolds, it serves as a grim reminder of the toxic power dynamics at play in political circles. The courage of the victim in stepping forward and speaking out against Tharoor’s alleged misconduct is commendable, yet it also exposes the dark underbelly of a system where influence and privilege often shield perpetrators from accountability.

While Tharoor has yet to publicly address these damning allegations, the MeToo storm brewing around him serves as a wake-up call. In an age where social media amplifies voices once silenced, no one is immune to scrutiny, not even the charming wordsmith with a penchant for polysyllabic pontification.
