Ahmedabad: The bail appeals filed by Mumbai-based activist Teesta Setalvad and retired Gujarat DGP R B Sreekumar challenging their arrests have been rejected by an Ahmedabad sessions court on Saturday.

Teesta Setalvad and R B Sreekumar were arrested following the Supreme Court's observation that those responsible for making accusations against the then Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi in connection with the 2002 Gujarat riots for 16 years should be behind bar in accordance with the law.

On June 24,the Supreme Court upheld the exoneration of Narendra Modi by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) in connection with the 2002 Gujarat riots. In its judgement, the apex court had held that those responsible for keeping "the pot boiling" over the past 16 years "need to be in the dock and proceeded with in accordance with law".

The details of the judgments rejecting the bail appeals are expected to be released in the coming days.

The arguments in Setalvad and Sreekumar's bail applications were concluded on July 21, following which the court had reserved its verdict tentatively for July 26. The court had subsequently deferred the pronouncement of the verdict to July 27, 28 and 29, owing to voluminous records.
