New Delhi: After an audio clip surfaced on social media carrying abuses allegedly being hurled by BharatPe CEO Ashneer Grover and a family member on a Kotak Group employee, Grover tweeted on Thursday that it was a fake audio by some seamster trying to extort money from him in Bitcoins. The unverified audio clip went viral this week allegedly over the non-allocation of shares in fashion e-commerce firm Nykaa that recently went public. The viral audio was posted by an anonymous handle along with the tweet: "how rich founders treat poor bank employees".
"Folks. Chill! It's a FAKE audio by some scamster trying to extort funds (US$ 240K in bitcoins). I refused to buckle. I've got more character. And the Internet has got enough scamsters :) (sic)," Grover posted in a tweet.
He also shared a couple of email exchanges between himself and a startup marketer that goes by the name of UniconBaba.
In one of the emails, UniconBaba allegedly asked for a payment of $2,00,000 for BharatPe's promotion and marketing-related expenses.
