MJ Akbar vs Priya Ramani case: Delhi Court reserves verdict in criminal defamation suit for 10 Feb

Firstpost  

Akbar, a former Union minister, had filed the case against Ramani in October 2018 for “defaming him by accusing him of sexual misconduct” New Delhi: A Delhi Court on Monday reserved for 10 February the verdict in MJ Akbar’s criminal defamation case against journalist Priya Ramani for her allegations of sexual harassment against him. John further refuted Akbar’s claim that Ramani’s tweet instigated and ignited the first flame when she accused him of sexual misconduct, saying that journalist Wahab tweeted on 6 October, 2018 and after that journalist Shunali Kullar Shroff made the allegations of sexual misconduct. The counsel said that Akbar’s argument that by deactivating her Twitter account, Ramani destroyed and tempered with the primary evidence was absurd and fallacious. Akbar had filed the criminal defamation complaint against Ramani in 15 October, 2018 for allegedly defaming him by accusing him of sexual misconduct over two decades ago.
