Rahul Johri, the Indian cricket board's chief executive officer could have more trouble on his plate through the emergence of another case of sexual harassment. Former Mumbai Ranji Trophy captain Shishir Hattangadi has revealed that he played advisor to a lady friend of his, who informed him yesterday morning that she was sexually harassed by BCCI CEO Rahul Johri during his BCCI tenure.

Johri is on leave since an anonymous person accused him on October 12 via Twitter, of sexually harassing her during his previous job. "I received a call from my friend this morning and advised her to write to the Committee of Administrators. I presume she has emailed the CoA," Hattangadi told mid-day yesterday after tweeting this message, "If the @BCCI want information about @RJohri on #metoo I am happy to assist them. I am putting my hand up as a former Captain!"
