New Delhi: A BBC reporter is facing severe criticism for allegedly groping a woman’s breast during reportage on live television.

The reporter, who was interviewing a political editor, was seen in the footage brushing aside a woman who interrupted his report on live television with a hand on her breast.



The woman entered into the frame and said “absolutely fantastic” while looking directly at the camera with a thumbs up. Ben Brown quickly made eye contact with the unidentified woman and while trying to keep her aside from the frame, kept his hand on one of her breasts.


The woman then slapped him on the shoulder and walked away.

Brown claimed on Twitter that the incident was “completely unintentional.”

However, many Twitteratis found his act “intentional” as he was aware of what he was touching.
