SC stays arrest of Teesta Setalvad till Feb 19
New Delhi, Feb 12 (IBNS) The Supreme Court on Friday directed that social activist Teesta Setalvad will not be arrested till Feb 19 in connection with the Gulbarg Society fund embezzlement case.
The court also deferred the hearing on her anticipatory bail plea till that day.
On Thursday, the apex court stayed the arrest of the social activist till Friday.
The Gujarat High Court earlier rejected Setalvad's anticipatory bail plea.
The police had reached Setalvad's Mumbai residence to arrest her, reports said.
A case has been filed against the social activist in Gujarat.
The FIR was lodged against Setalvad in 2014 for allegedly misusing Rs. 1.5 crores of donations.
"They had collected the money to convert the 2002 riot-hit Gulbarg Society into a riots museum," CNN-IBN reported.
