Court summons Kangana in Javed Akhtar's criminal defamation case

An Andheri magistrate court has summoned actor Kangana Ranaut in a criminal defamation complaint filed against her by lyricist Javed Akhtar for making statements against him in an interview to Republic TV in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case. Magistrate RR Khan took cognizance of the complaint after the Juhu police filed an inquiry report. Akhtar’s advocate Niranjan Mundargi said the report contained the statements of a Dr. Ramesh Agarwal who is a common friend present during Akhtar’s and Kangana’s meeting in which she had claimed in the TV interview to have been threatened by Akhtar to settle issues between her and another actor or face consequences.
