New Delhi, Feb 12 (IANS) The Communist Party of India-Marxist Thursday accused the Gujarat Police of harassing social activist Teesta Setalvad and demanded that the "concocted" case against her be withdrawn.

"The Gujarat Police have targeted Teesta Setalvad because of her relentless championing of the rights of the victims of the Gujarat pogroms of 2002," said a statement from the party.
