Priya Ramani
Priya Ramani told a Delhi court that MJ Akbar's defamation case against her was "baseless and false".
MJ Akbar has filed a defamation case against Priya Ramani after #MeToo allegations.
Akbar was being questioned by journalist Priya Ramani's lawyer in the defamation case he filed following sexual harassment allegations against him.
Ramani claimed trial as the Delhi court framed charges in the defamation case filed by MJ Akbar.
Akbar resigned as minister of state for external affairs on 17 October after multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.
"Time to tell our side of the story," tweeted Ramani.
Ramani accused Akbar of sexual misconduct about 20 years ago, an allegation that has been denied by him.
