Gujarat ATS detains Teesta for 'faking riots evidence'

Mumbai/Ahmedabad: Gujarat Police detained Mumbai-based activist Teesta Setalvad and arrested ex-DGP RB Sreekumar on Saturday in connection with an FIR filed in Ahmedabad against them and Sanjiv Bhatt, alleging "criminal conspiracy, forgery and placing false evidence in court to frame innocent people" in the 2002 Gujarat riots case.

Bhatt, who is in Palanpur jail (Banaskantha, Gujarat) awaiting trial in a case of planting drugs on a suspect, will be arrested after the police obtain a transfer warrant from the court, sources said.

The action came a day after the Supreme Court dismissed a petition challenging the SIT clean chit to then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi in the 2002 riots case. The apex court said "all those involved in such abuse of process need to be in the dock and proceeded with in accordance with law".

The FIR naming Setalvad and the 2 ex-IPS officers had been registered by the Ahmedabad crime branch hours before ATS officials knocked on her door in Mumbai.

Mumbai/Ahmedabad: Ahmedabad crime branch's FIR accuses activist Teesta Setalvad specifically of "conjuring, concocting, forging and fabricating facts and documents, including witnesses' testimonies, and influencing and tutoring witnesses".
