2002 Gujarat riots | Teesta Setalvad denies SIT’s charges

Social activist Teesta Setalvad, arrested by Gujarat Police on the charges of forgery and fabrication of evidence related to 2002 riots cases, vehemently denied receiving any money from late Congress leader Ahmed Patel. 

She has also rejected the charge of being part of any “conspiracy” to destabilise the then Gujarat government or attempt to frame any people while fighting for the justice to the victims of 2002 communal riots in the state. 

Her lawyer made the arguments denying all charges levelled by the State government appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT) which is probing the case, during hearing of her bail plea in a local court in Ahmedabad.
