The clip, which is about 4:29 minutes has an exchange between three people: two male voices and a female voice with it beginning with with a male voice asking, “Hi sir, how’re you?”
An angry male voice replies by hurtling insane abuses with the voice claimed to be of Ashneer.
“Are you drunk, sir?” the other male voice asks.
“Are you dumb?” the angry voice responds.
“No, I’m not dumb. But please sir, mind your language. I had a very beautiful relationship with you and I don’t want to spoil it,” says the male voice.
A female voice then goes onto say, “This is Madhuri this side. Why are you talking like that? If you did not have allocation, then why did you commit?”
Ashneer has meanwhile gone onto rubbish the allegations with him taking to Twitter to claim it was a fake audio, one being used to blackmail him by scamsters who were demanding $240,000 from him. However, given the noises of Ashneer’s decadent personality and the strongarm tactics with which he runs BharatPe and his petulant behaviour on Shark Tank, many are believing it to be him in the audio only.
Folks. Chill ! It’s a FAKE audio by some scamster trying to extort funds (US$ 240K in bitcoins). I refused to buckle. I’ve got more character. And Internet has got enough scamsters 🙂 pic.twitter.com/pCkdPLwBaq
