Union Minister MJ Akbar on Monday filed a criminal defamation case against the journalist who levelled sexual harassment allegations on him. He filed the case on Monday in Delhi's Patiala House Court against Priya Ramani, through his advocates Karanjawala and Company.
Claiming that he was being framed, Akbar had on Sunday threatened to take legal action against those who have levelled allegations against him. In a detailed statement, Akbar had on Sunday said that the accusations against him are spiced up by innuendo and malice.
"The allegations of misconduct made against me are false and fabricated, spiced up by innuendo and malice. I could not reply earlier as I was on an official tour abroad. Accusation without evidence has become a viral fever among some sections. Whatever be the case, now that I have returned, my lawyers will look into these wild and baseless allegations in order to decide our future course of legal action," he had said. |
