Ahmedabad: Social activist Teesta Setalwad, her husband Javed Anand and son of slain Congress MP Ehsan Jafri, Tanvir were on Tuesday denied anticipatory bail by a local court in the Gulbarg Society fund embezzlement case.
The Ahmedabad city sessions court also rejected anticipatory bail plea of two others who were members of the Gulbarg Society association. The court observed that prima facie documentary evidence exists against the accused persons.
The prosecution had earlier argued that Ms Setalwad and others have usurped funds meant for riot victims and collected donations from India and abroad in the name of making a museum at the Gulburg Society, but later they used those funds for other purposes.
