The Ahmedabad Crime Branch police have registered a case against the Mumbai-based social activist and general-secretary of the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP), Teesta Setalvad, for allegedly hacking the e-mail ID of her estranged colleague, Raees Khan Pathan.
Mr. Pathan, the field co-ordinator for the Gujarat region of the CJP, had lodged a complaint with the Ahmedabad police commissioner in September last, against Ms. Setalvad, naming her as the one who had hacked his e-mail ID and posted false reports in his name on the Internet.
The city commissioner had entrusted the task of investigating Mr. Pathan's complaint with the Crime Branch, which finally registered an offence against Ms. Setalvad on Friday.
