Nira Radia sues RK Anand for tell-all book
Earlier today the Delhi high court stayed the release and circulation of the book Close encounter with Niira Radia which was slated for release in June.
Niira Radia today sued lawyer RK Anand who has penned a book titled 'Close encounter with Nira Radia' based on her controversial tapped, telephonic conversations with high profile individuals. Earlier on wednesday the Delhi high court stayed the release and circulation of the book which was slated for release in June.
Edited by former India Today executive editor Inderjit Badhwar and published by Har-Anand publications, Close encounters with Niira Radia claimed to be a ‘dramatic tell-all account by India’s top criminal lawyer of the character and con games of the corporate lobbyist whose activities have shaken India’s power class.’
The book described Radia as a ‘sprightly, bubbly and vivacious woman who at the age of 35 burst on to India’s political and business centre stage in the form of a whirling diva and whose every fervid gyration spun a web of cunning, duplicity and intrigue, ensnaring a veritable who’s who of those who run this nation’s business, political and journalistic empires.’
It had accounts of Radia’s friendship with top public figures including the then civil aviation minister Ananth Kumar.
