Javed Akhtar’s Defamation Complaint Against Kangana Ranaut: Magistrate Orders Police Probe

Mumbai: Kangana Ranaut has landed herself in a soup for her alleged personal comments against lyricist Javed Akhtar during an interview. A metropolitan magistrate court in Mumbai on Saturday directed police to investigate Javed Akhtar’s complaint of defamation against Kangana, Hindustan Times (HT) reported.

The lyricist had approached the magistrate court last month. On December 3, the magistrate recorded his statement for verification of the complaint.

On Saturday, following the argument by Akhtar’s lawyer for cognizance of the complaint, the magistrate court directed Juhu police to conduct an inquiry and submit a report by January 16, the report added.

Akhtar had alleged that Ranaut had defamed him during one television interview by claiming that he had threatened her to withdraw a case against actor Hrithik Roshan. Kangana had called him part of an alleged suicide gang and claimed in the interview that Akhtar threatened her that she will have no option but to take her own life if she didn’t back out.

The hate calls and messages he received after the interview and the trolling on social media had caused damage to his reputation, Akhtar was quoted as saying.
