The unexpected move came before a court hearing where Rana was expected to argue that his identity should remain hidden under the name “John Doe” in court records.

Since the lawsuit was filed, Kaiser had strongly supported Rana’s claims. He had even said earlier that The Post would feel “embarrassed” about its reporting once all the evidence comes out.
