One of the founding members of group AIB, Gursimran Khamba, has been accused by a woman of misconduct but comedian has categorically denied "any violation of consent".

The woman, who requested anonymity, posted her statement through the Twitter handle of a journalist.

She said she and the comedian had "hooked up two-three times, consensually and continued being friends" but things escalated when on two separate occasions, Khamba tried "repeatedly to make out with me while we were hanging out".

"He lay down on top of me on the couch, I had to physically shove him away, turn my face or push his. He would then stop. And we would hang out, ignoring the entire thing. I continued being friends with him."
"It makes me sick to see people celebrate him when they don't know the context and costs."
