NEW DELHI: India on Wednesday dismissed as "completely unwarranted" the remarks made by the UN Human Rights Office in connection with the arrest of Teesta Setalvad, saying they "constitute an interference" in the independent judiciary of the country.

According to the NIE, Arindam Bagchi, MEA spokesperson in a statement said, "We have seen a comment by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights regarding the legal action against Teesta Setalvad and two other persons. The remarks are completely unwarranted and constitute interference in India's independent judicial system."

The MEA said the Indian authorities were acting in accordance with established judicial procedures against violations. Meanwhile, a spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres commented on the arrest of Mohammed Zubair, saying that journalists should not be imprisoned for writing, tweeting or saying something.
