Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal posted the matter for further hearing on 22 February. On 30 January, Vivek had recorded his statement before the court, saying all the allegations levelled by the magazine and later repeated by Ramesh at a press conference were “baseless” and “false” and damaged his reputation in the eyes of family members and professional colleagues.
