In what can be described as vendetta, the Central Bureau of Investigation on Thursday conducted raids across the residences and offices of Supreme Court advocates Indira Jaising and Anand Grover in Delhi and Mumbai.

The CBI had accused them of violating a law on foreign funding for their NGO Lawyers Collective. The case involves contributions to their NGO when Indira Jaising was Additional Solicitor General between 2009 and 2014, the CBI alleges. The expenses of her foreign trips at the time were from the NGO without home ministry approval, according to the agency.

“I and Anand Grover are being targeted because of human rights work that we have been doing,” said Indira Jaising on CBI raids, said Supreme Court advocate, Indira Jaising on CBI raid at her residence in Delhi.

The investigating agency had filed an FIR in June and had named Senior Advocate Anand Grover, a trustee and founder-director of the NGO, as an accused.
