After the arrest of climate activist Disha Ravi from Bengaluru, in the Greta Thunberg toolkit case, Delhi Police has issued non-bailable warrants against Nikita Jacob and Shantanu. "The two are involved in the toolkit matter," the police said. Multiple reports identified Jacob as a lawyer at the Bombay High Court, though THE WEEK could not independently verify the claim. Furthers details about the two accused were not immediately known.
22-year-old Ravi was arrested on Saturday from Bengaluru for being allegedly involved in sharing the "toolkit" related to the farmer's protest on social media. Ravi, a graduate in Bachelor of Business Administration from a private college in Bengaluru, is also one of the founding members of a group named 'Fridays For Future India'. The toolkit has been cited by some critics as a "proof" of her conspiracy to fuel protests in India.
She was produced before a Delhi court on Sunday. She has been remanded to police custody for five days, he said, adding that further investigation is in progress. Her laptop and mobile phone has also been seized for further investigation and the police are ascertaining if she was in touch with more people who were involved in the case case.
