#MeToo: Anu Malik no longer part of Indian Idol jury panel

Music composer Anu Malik Sunday said he is taking a break from singing reality show ‘Indian Idol’ following various sexual harassment allegations against him. In a statement the music director, who has been attached with the show as a judge since 2004, said he decided to step away from it as he was not able to ‘focus on my work.’ “I, Anu Malik, have decided to take a break from Indian Idol as I am currently unable to focus on my work on the show. The channel has been kind to agree for the same. Thank you,” Malik said.
