NSA Ajit Doval’s son Vivek Doval on Monday filed a criminal defamation complaint against a news magazine for allegedly publishing a defamatory article. Mr. Doval also sought prosecution of Congress leader Jairam Ramesh in the case.

The complaint has been filed against The Caravan and the author of the article, besides Mr. Ramesh.

The article claimed that Mr. Doval was running a hedge fund whose promoters are of dubious antecedents.

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal is likely to hear the matter on Tuesday.
