A Delhi Court, on Wednesday acquitted journalist Priya Ramani in the defamation case brought on against her by former Union Minister MJ Akbar. Referring to ancient epics 'Mahabharata' and 'Ramayana', the court said they were written to show the importance of dignity of a woman and it was shameful that such incidents were still happening in the country. In 2018, Ramani had made allegation of sexual misconduct against Akbar in the wake of #Metoo movement. According to the former journalist, in December 1993, Akbar sexually harassed her when she was called to a Mumbai hotel for a job interview.
