Vivek Doval Says Article ‘The D Companies’ Defamatory

New Delhi: National Security Advisor Ajit Doval’s son Vivek Doval on Monday told a Delhi Court that ‘The D Companies’ article published in The Caravan magazine was defamatory and lowered his and his father’s reputation. “The article in a very systematic way creates inferences and innuendos which make readers think that Vivek Doval and family are involved in illegal activities such as money laundering, round tripping of capital, violating financial regulation and connections to foreign royal families,” Vivek Doval told Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal.

Vivek Doval was being examined in the defamation case filed by him against Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, The Caravan Editor-in-Chief Paresh Nath and reporter Kaushal Shroff. In March, the court summoned Ramesh Nath and the other accused in connection with the article titled “The D Companies”, published in the magazine on January 16. Vivek Doval told the court that his reputation had been lowered amongst friends and family. (IANS)
