Activist Teesta Setalvad was detained by Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad from Mumbai on Saturday. Reports said she was taken to Santacruz police station.
The move came a day after the Supreme Court dismissed a plea by slain Congress leader Ehsan Jafri's wife Zakia against the Special Investigation Team's clean chit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and 63 others in the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat.
Setalvad had supported Zakia Jafri throughout her legal battle.
