MJ Akbar's Defamation Case Against Journalist Over #MeToo In Court Today | Read
The defamation case by former union minister MJ Akbar against Priya Ramani, the first woman journalist to accuse him of sexual harassment, will be heard in a court in Delhi today. Mr Akbar had sued Ms Ramani on Monday, accusing her of "intentionally putting forward malicious, fabricated and salacious" allegations to harm his goodwill and reputation. The editor-turned-politician, who has been accused of sexual harassment by multiple women, stepped down as Minister of State for External Affairs on Wednesday evening, saying he will challenge the accusations against him.
