Indian journalist acquitted of defamation in high-profile #MeToo case
A Delhi court acquitted journalist Priya Ramani of defamation for outing alleged sexual misconduct against prominent journalist-politician MJ Akbar.

The judge ruled: ’Women can’t be punished for raising instances of sexual abuse … right of reputation can’t be protected at the cost of right to dignity.’
