NEW DELHI: Former Union Minister M J Akbar told a Delhi court on Friday that journalist Priya Ramani had defamed him by calling him with adjectives such as ‘media’s biggest predator’ in the wake of #MeToo movement in 2018 that harmed his reputation.
Akbar made the allegations before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vishal Pahuja through his lawyer during the final hearing of a private criminal defamation complaint filed by him against Ramani after his name cropped up on social media as the #MeToo campaign raged on in India.
Akbar resigned as Union Minister on October 17, 2018. (AGENCIES)
