The Supreme Court on Wednesday granted regular bail to activist Teesta Setalvad, quashing the Gujarat High Court's order that denied her regular bail and asked her to "surrender immediately" earlier this month. The Gujarat Police arrested her last year for allegedly fabricating evidence linked to the 2002 Gujarat riots. However, she has been protected by the Supreme Court's interim bail extensions since September 2022.
