Luthra is reading out Veenu Sandal’s statement which describes how Priya Ramani’s tweets and article dented the image that Akbar held in Sandal’s eyes.

Sandal 's testimony “His reputation had been damaged, dragged through the mud and in tatters. After he returned, I spoke to him about how let down I was feeling. He told me there was no truth in the allegations made by Ramani."

Sandal's testimony : After due deliberation, I thought and realised that there not a single remote thing which could be said by many people about Akbar along the lines of what was alleged by Ramani.”
