RadiumOne Fires CEO After Plea Deal on Violence Charges

RadiumOne Inc. Chief Executive Officer Gurbaksh Chahal said he was fired from the online-advertising network after agreeing to plead guilty to domestic violence charges.

Closely held RadiumOne, which took the action April 26, provided no reason for Chahal’s dismissal in a statement yesterday and spokeswoman Aman Battish declined to elaborate. In a post on his personal website, Chahal said he had been charged with 45 felony counts of domestic violence, all of which were dropped. He said he accepted a misdemeanor plea deal offered by prosecutors and was fined $500.
