Kangana Ranaut Exempted from Personal Hearing in Defamation Case
Kangana Ranaut, a BJP MP and actor, has been allowed to attend future hearings in a defamation case through video conferencing instead of appearing in person.
The case was filed by an elderly farmer, Mahinder Kaur, who claims Kangana defamed her in a 2020 tweet.
The tweet mistakenly identified Mahinder Kaur as a different protester and made derogatory remarks.
The court allowed this exemption because Kangana's counsel stated she faces serious security threats.
The court also allowed Mahinder Kaur to call additional witnesses.
The next hearing is scheduled for January 27.
