After the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a case against activist Teesta Setalvad and her husband Javed Anand for illegally receiving foreign funds, it carried out searches at the activist's residence in Mumbai.
The Juhu residence of the activist was raided by the CBI as she and her husband had allegedly received foreign funds by contravening Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA).
Speaking to CNN-IBN, Setalvad said that the CBI team had come to her residence with a search warrant.
Last week, the CBI had filed a case against Setalvad for allegedly receiving foreign funds without government permission. The accounts of Setalvad, her husband Javed Anand and two of their NGOs were also attached.
This came almost a month after the Union Home Ministry directed the agency to probe FCRA violations against Setalvad. The activist has alleged that she is being targeted by the NDA government.
Meanwhile, the agency on Tuesday filed a case against businessman Gulam Mohammed Peshimam and Sabrang Communications and Publishing on similar charges.
