'Shocked, aggrieved' Teesta moves HC after anticipatory bail is rejected

July 24, 2015 15:25

A shocked and aggrieved Teesta Setalvad and her husband Javed Anand have moved the Bombay High Court soon after her anticipatory bail application was rejected by a CBI court.

Aggrieved by the order, Setalvad told the CBI court that "she was shocked and aggrieved by the judgement and she believes that it is done to intimidate and possibly eliminate us by powers in Delhi."

The CBI on July 8 registered a case against Setalvad and her husband and subsequently raided their home and offices a week later. The agency is probing into whether Setalvad's non-governmental organisation Sabrang received funding from the United States-based Ford Foundation without government permission.
