Misuse of funds: Supreme Court stays arrest of Teesta Setalvad

New Delhi, Feb 19: The Supreme Court Thursday restrained the Gujarat Police from arresting activist Teesta Setalvad and her husband Javed Anand in connection with the alleged misuse of funds collected by NGO Sabrang Trust for setting up a museum at Gulbarga Society which witnessed one of the worst carnage during 2002 Gujarat riots.

An apex court bench headed by Justice Dipak Misra also directed her to provide all the documents required by the Gujarat Police in respect of the donors of the fund from within India and overseas.

The court said that Gujarat Police will provide the list of documents required by it from the social activist, and also directed her to cooperate with the Gujarat Police in the interrogation.
