Was in a consensual relationship with journalist Pallavi: MJ Akbar
After US-based India-born journalist Pallavi Gogoi accused MJ Akbar of raping her 23 years ago, the former Editor and Union Minister denied the allegations, claiming he was in a consensual relationship with Pallavi. "The relationship gave rise to talk and...later caused strife in my home life as well. This consensual relationship ended, perhaps not on best note," Akbar added.
