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.
