Unacademy sacked teacher Karan Sangwan on August 19 alleging that the firm terminated his service under pressure from trollers on social media who misinterpreted his generic remark to vote for educated candidates.
In a video on his YouTube channel, Mr. Sangwan said he made the generic remark on his YouTube channel and not during his lecture at Unacademy.
"Why did termination happen? There is a pressure which gets built and you burst under its load. You (Unacademy) could not deal with the pressure. Therefore, under pressure, you had to take an action which you may have not desired to or you desired to...I don't know. I can't say anything about what your intentions were?" Mr. Sangwan said.
