Letter Published in The National UAE on  16Oct 18  #MeToo names in the frame must be properly investigated   In reference to your article On the coattails of #MeToo, is it finally time for a big Bollywood clean-up?(October 11), which cited the recent allegations made by Indian actresses about their co-stars, as well as female journalists accusing editors of sexual harassment and assault, what a sad and painful read.Some of the recent allegations made by many female journalists accuse former editor and current government minister MJ Akbar, which is a truly shocking development.Those journalists who have come forward must be commended for their bravery. The government should take immediate action in investigating their complaints and dealing with their grievances.Women deserve to feel secure in their workplaces and bosses should always behave respectfully. This is a sad state of affairs indeed.K Ragavan, Bengaluru
