The Bengaluru-based activist was arrested by the Delhi Police on Saturday for her alleged role in sharing a toolkit on the farmers’ protests. The Delhi Police had earlier booked Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg for sharing the same toolkit.
A toolkit, simply put, is a document created to explain any issue. It also provides information on what one needs to do to address the issue. This might include information about petitions, details about protests and mass movements and so on.
The Delhi Police have claimed that Disha Ravi was an editor of the google document that Thunberg shared and have alleged that she was a "key conspirator" in the document's formulation and dissemination.
The Cyber Cell unit of the Delhi Police had earlier lodged an FIR against "pro-Khalistan" creators of the toolkit for waging a "social, cultural and economic war against the Government of India".
