Teesta and Anand's advocate Arshad Shaikh said that even though the case was registered in Ahmedabad, they could get anticipatory bail from Bombay High Court as there are judgements of the Supreme Court which say that a person can get relief from the High Court in the state where they reside, for a case registered in another state.
According to Teesta and Anand, they have been implicated in the case and are victims of political vendetta.
They claim that they are being targeted by the perpetrators of the riots.
In 2006, the social activists decided to build a museum - Museum of Resistance - at the remains of the Gulbarg society.
Accordingly in 2009, a part of the plot was sold to Sabrang trust.
However, in 2012, the idea of the museum was dropped as the prices escalated. The same was communicated to the society.
But, according to the complaint filed against Teesta, funds were collected by her despite the idea being dropped.
