Javed Akhtar and Kangana Ranaut. THE ANDHERI Metropolitan Magistrate Court on Saturday directed the Juhu police station to probe a criminal complaint filed by lyricist Javed Akhtar against actor Kangana Ranaut for allegedly defaming him in a news television interview. Akhtar had last month filed a criminal complaint against Ranaut for allegedly making defamatory statements against him on a private news channel. The complaint, filed before the Metropolitan Magistrate at Andheri, claims that Ranaut has unnecessarily dragged Akhtar’s name in connection with the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. On Saturday, advocate Niranjan Mundargi, appearing for Akhtar, submitted that his client’s name was unnecessarily dragged in an unconnected matter while her interview was pertaining to actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.
