Former Union Minister MJ Akbar, who recorded his statement before a Delhi court on Saturday in a defamation case filed by him against journalist Priya Ramani, replied that he does not remember their meeting and other details after he was cross-examined by Ramani’s counsel.
Appearing before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal, Akbar said that his defamation complaint against Ramani, who has accused him of sexual misconduct 20 years ago, was “correct†as his public life has been “adversely affected†and “lifetime’s good reputation†damaged by her “offensive wordsâ€.
