Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap on Wednesday said he has decided to step back as a board member of the Mumbai Academy of Moving Image (MAMI) amidst a "shadow of doubt" that he remained silent when a woman complained to him of being sexually harassed by his business partner Vikas Bahl.

Kashyap and Motwane last week came out in support of an unidentified woman who has accused Bahl of sexually harassing her in 2015 in Goa. Bahl has sent legal notices to both of them for making "baseless" statements out of "personal vendetta".
