After the Gujarat ATS arrested Setalvad from her Mumbai home in June this year, the activist had filed a complaint with Santacruz police alleging violence on the part of the arresting officers and curious calls she received before her arrest.
High Court issued notice on the activist’s plea on August 2 and listed the case for September 19. Supreme Court said that Setlavad was being made an exception.
State of Gujarat has submitted that the FIR against Setalvad is not based only on the Supreme Court judgment but also to ascertain how she fabricated evidence related to 2002 Gujarat riots
