Mumbai, Jul 14 (IBNS) Sleuths of the Central Bureau of Investigation raided on Tuesday morning the home and office of activist Teesta Setalvad, who has been accused of illegally receiving funds from abroad.

Reports said a  team of 16 CBI officers carried out the raids in Mumbai.

"This is vendetta by the BJP. They are trying to humiliate us," Shitalvad told NDTV.

"The Vyapam scam has killed 60-odd people, yet the CBI is busy with this," she said.

Last week, the CBI registered a case against  Setalvad and her organization Sabrang for alleged violation of the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act in receiving funds from abroad without seeking the home ministry's permission.

Setalvad has worked for victims of the 2002 riots in Gujarat. She has alleged persecution by the ruling BJP.
