TOOLKIT CASE: ACTIVIST DISHA RAVI REACHES DELHI POLICE’S CYBER CELL OFFICE

Tue 23 February 2021:

Climate activist Disha Ravi reached the office of the Delhi Police Cyber Cell today in connection with the probe into the “toolkit Google doc” backing the ongoing farmers’ agitation, officials said.

A Delhi court on Monday sent Ms Ravi to one-day police custody as it said she has to be confronted with other accused in the case – Nikita Jacob and Shantanu Muluk.

Ms Jacob and Mr Muluk joined the probe on Monday. They were questioned at the Delhi Police Cyber Cell office in Dwarka.

The Delhi Police, probing the “toolkit Google doc” shared by climate activist Greta Thunberg, had arrested Bengaluru-based activist Disha Ravi, while Nikita Jacob and Shantanu Muluk were granted pre-arrest bail by court.

Police had alleged that the “toolkit” was part of a global conspiracy to create unrest and trigger violence in India in the garb of the farmers’ protest against the farm laws.

Farmers, mostly from Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, are protesting at various border points of Delhi demanding repeal of the Centre’s three new farm laws.
