21-year-old climate activist arrested in the Greta Thunberg toolkit case

Delhi Police has arrested a 21-year-old climate activist, reportedly identified as Disha Ravi from Bengaluru, in a case related to the spread of the viral online 'toolkit' related to farmers protest, news agency ANI reported. The 'toolkit' was a Google document—that elaborated on ways the global public could support the protests—posted by Swedish environmentalist Greta Thunberg. According to the police, initial investigation has suggested the document's link with a pro-Khalistan group named ''Poetic Justice Foundation''.

In the document, various actions, including creating a tweetstorm and protesting outside Indian embassies, were listed as the ones needed to be taken to support the farmers' agitation. News agencies reported that the contents of the now-deleted document urged protests outside Indian missions abroad, media houses, government buildings, and even the offices of Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani. 

The Delhi Police had filed an FIR against Thunberg for "criminal conspiracy" and an attempt to "promote enmity between groups". "The document ''toolkit'' was aimed to spread disaffection and ill-will against the Government of India and creating disharmony among various social, religious and cultural groups," Special CP (Crime) Praveer Ranjan had told reporters. "The Delhi Police has been monitoring social media where it has identified over 300 social media handles which have been used for pushing hateful and malicious contents," the senior officer said.
