CBI has filed a charge sheet against social activist Teesta Setalvad, her husband Javed Anand and a company run by them for alleged violation of foreign funding rules. CBI spokesperson RK Gaur yesterday said, the charge sheet, which has listed the firm Sabrang Communications and Publishing Private Limited and one Sushma Raman, was filed in a Special court in Mumbai on Saturday.
The spokesperson said, the court has taken cognizance of the offences and directed the accused to appear before it on the 3rd of next month. The probe agency had, in July 2015, registered a case against Setalvad and others for alleged violation of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act in receiving funds from abroad without taking prior permission from the Home Ministry.
