India’s junior foreign minister has resigned in the wake of allegations in what is being called India’s #MeToo movement.
MJ Akbar, a former prominent newspaper editor, has been accused of predatory behaviour and sexual assault.
Mr Akbar had earlier filed a criminal defamation case against the female journalist who first named him, Priya Ramani.
He said in a statement that since he had decided to challenge the "false accusations" against him in his "personal capacity", he felt it was appropriate to step down from office.
