Indian-American Anurag Bajpayee, CEO of clean water startup Gradiant, has been arrested in the US in connection with a Boston luxury brothel scandal. According to court documents, Bajpayee was among dozens— including doctors, lawyers, and officials—accused of paying up to $600 (₹50,000) an hour for sex, mainly with Asian women. The MIT PhD holder faces growing internal pressure at Gradiant, though the company has expressed confidence in the justice system and pledged to continue its mission. The scandal has sparked widespread outrage across the Indian-American diaspora and corporate circles. Authorities say more high-profile arrests could follow. (PC: X)
