Case Against Activist Teesta Setalvad, 2 Ex-IPS Officers Sent to Ahmedabad Sessions Court for Trial

News 18  

A metropolitan magistrate’s court here on Monday committed to the sessions court for trial a case against social activist Teesta Setalvad and two former IPS officers wherein they are accused of fabricating evidence to frame “innocent people and defame Gujarat” in connection with the 2002 post-Godhra riots in the state. Additional metropolitan magistrate MV Chauhan committed the case to the sessions court in Ahmedabad for trial against Setalvad, former state Director General of Police RB Sreekumar and ex-Indian Police Service officer Sanjiv Bhatt. Zakia Jafri’s protest petition in the Gujarat High Court, her statement as a witness, copies of nine affidavits filed by Sreekumar before the SC-appointed SIT, copies of fax and emails sent by Bhatt are also among documentary evidence produced by the SIT. The FIR against them was registered a day after the apex court dismissed the plea of Zakia Jafri, and observed, “At the end of the day, it appears to us that a coalesced effort of the disgruntled officials of the State of Gujarat along with others was to create sensation by making revelations which were false to their own knowledge.” Setalvad, Sreekumar and Bhatt were booked under sections of the Indian Penal Code related to forgery, fabricating false evidence with intent to procure conviction of capital offence, instituting criminal proceedings to cause injury, framing incorrect record or writing with intent to save person from punishment or property from forfeiture, and criminal conspiracy.
