Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Friday granted an interim protection for 2 weeks to social activist Teesta Setalvad. Earlier, a special CBI court had rejected Setalvad's anticipatory bail plea.

Reacting to the decision of the court to deny anticipatory bail, Teesta said it was an attempt to intimidate her by the powers in Delhi.

Teesta and her husband Javed Anand face charges for alleged violations of the foreign funding law. Gujarat Police charged Teesta and her husband of embezzling funds from their NGO.

The police had earlier alleged that the social activist and her husband had "misappropriated" funds meant for charity for personal expenses ranging from wine, earbuds to expensive mobile phone besides tampering with evidence.
