RB Sreekumar and Teesta Setalvad.
Bail application of Teesta Setalvad and RB Sreekumar in defamation case of Gujarat Ed. Principal Judge D. d. Thakkar has refused. While rejecting the bail application, the court noted that Teesta and RB Sreekumar had submitted bogus affidavits as part of a conspiracy to defame the Gujarat government.
It is clear from the contention of the accused that they had created bogus evidence and fabricated the whole incident to defame Gujarat and get innocent people sentenced to death. If the accused are released on bail, it will give an incentive to wrongdoers against innocent people including the then Chief Minister. The court noted that the lie of allowing Hindus to vent their anger in the meeting called by Narendra Modi after the Godhra incident has been proven by the Supreme Court verdict. He did not speak any such harsh words in the meeting.
