NEW DELHI: The escalation in the fight between BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover and the investors in the fintech startup took an ugly turn on Wednesday with the sacking of Madhuri Jain Grover, Ashneer’s wife and head of controls at the company, over allegations of misappropriation of funds.
Jain, who was forced to go on voluntary leave, took to Twitter on Wednesday, tagging TOI among others, calling her sacking an orchestrated “witch hunt” by Sequoia, an investor in BharatPe, Rajnish Kumar, former SBI chairman and board chairman at the firm and Harshjit Sethi, MD at Sequoia Capital. In accompanying tweets consisting of a series of videos she accused top executives at the company of “drunken orgies”.
