Anurag Bajpayee, Indian-origin CEO of cleantech firm Gradiant, has been named in the high-profile Cambridge brothel scandal in the US. According to The Wall Street Journal, Bajpayee, along with other wealthy men, submitted IDs and references to access a secretive brothel offering a "girlfriend experience." The ring, busted in 2023, allegedly exploited Asian women through sex trafficking. Bajpayee, a Lucknow-born MIT graduate, is facing misdemeanour charges. Gradiant has expressed support, stating trust in the judicial process. The case has drawn attention for naming affluent clients, including public officials, shifting focus from traffickers to buyers in a rare legal move. (PC: Gradient)
