ಒಬ್ಬ ಸುಳ್ಳುಗಾರ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ ಮಾನವ ಹಕ್ಕು ಪ್ರತಿಪಾದನೆಯಂಥ ಸಂಘಟನೆ ಸೇರಿ, ವಿದೇಶಿ ಪ್ರಶಸ್ತಿಗಳದುಡ್ಡಿನ ಆಸೆಗೆ , ದೇಶದ ಮಾನ ಹರಾಜು ಹಾಕುವಂತಾ ಸುಳ್ಳು ಕತೆಗಳನ್ನು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿ ದರೆ ಏನು ಮಾಡಬೇಕು?
ಇದೆ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಗಲಭೆ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೂಡ ರಂಪಾಟ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದನ್ನು ಜನ ಮರೆತಿಲ್ಲ!
(ಬಾಡಿಗೆ ಬುದ್ದಿ ಜೀವಿಗಳ ರಂಪ ಭಯೋತ್ಪಾದಕರು, ಸಮಾಜ ದ್ರೋಹಿಗಳನ್ನು ಬಂಧಿಸಿದಾಗ ಮಾತ್ರ ಯಾಕೆ? ಅಮಾಯಕ ಜನ ಮುಂಬಯಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸತ್ತಾಗ ಈ ಸೇತಲ್ವಾದ್ ಎಲ್ಲಿದ್ದರು?)
Controversy of Teesta Setalvad
In April 2009, the Times of India ran a story claiming that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) setup by the Supreme Court of India to investigate and expediate the Gujarat riot cases had submitted before the Court that Teesta Setalvad had cooked up cases of violence to spice up the incidents. The SIT which is headed by former CBI director, R K Raghavan has said that false witnesses were tutored to give evidence about imaginary incidents by Teesta Setalvad and other NGOs. The SIT charged her of “cooking up macabre tales of killings”.
The court was told that 22 witnesses, who had submitted identical affidavits before various courts relating to riot incidents, were questioned by SIT and it was found that the witnesses had not actually witnessed the incidents and they were tutored and the affidavits were handed over to them by Setalvad.
The report which was brought to the notice of the bench consisting of Justices Arijit Pasayat, P Sathasivam and Aftab Alam, noted that the much publicised case of a pregnant muslim woman Kausar Banu being gangraped by a mob and foetus being removed with sharp weapons, was also cooked up and false.
A day later, the Times of India published a letter from Citizens for Justice and Peace claiming that the report in question was not SIT report but a report by the Gujarat Government, and the CBI director Raghavan and other SIT members were not present in court. The author of the Times article responded saying "My report was based on the SIT report and not any document circulated by the Gujarat government, as suggested by CJP. Whether any section of the media has the report or not is irrelevant as TOI has access to the report.

I dont understand why other news channels are silent on this.
Sir, as a home minister who knows laws, is there any law to punish such people who cook up cases ?
