Kangana Ranaut summoned by Mumbai Police in defamation case by Javed Akhtar

Indian actress Kangana Ranaut is once again in news after she has been summoned by the Mumbai Police. The Queen actress has been summoned in a defamation case that has been filed by veteran poet and lyricist Javed Akhtar. The case is being investigated by the police officers in Juhu and the actress has been asked to be present before the investigating officers on January 22, 2021.

The court has ordered the Juhu Police to investigate the defamation case that has been filed by Akhytar against the actress. It was on December 19, 2020 when the court had ordered the Juhu Police to investigate the matter and was asked to submit a report to the court on January 16, 2021. But then the police sought more time for investigation.

The next hearing in the case is expected to be held on February 1, 2021 and the police is expected to file a report by then. Akhtar in his complaint has alleged that Ranaut in an interview had tarnished his image publicly.

During the interview, the Tanu Weds Manu actress had spoken about her conversation with Akhtar at his residence, where a doctor was also present. While Akhtar and Kangana are claiming different things, the doctor remains the main witness in the case. Only the doctor knows what has happened and a report will be made as per his statement.
