A day after arresting 21-year-old climate activist Disha Ravi for sharing Greta Thunberg's 'toolkit', Delhi Police on Monday (Febraury 15) issued non-bailable warrants against two more activists named Nikita Jacob and Shantanu.
"Non-bailable warrants issued against Nikita Jacob and Shantanu. The two are involved in the toolkit matter," the Delhi Police said on Monday.
The police further claims that the organization behind the ‘toolkit’ shared by Greta Thunberg, the ‘pro-Khalistani’ Poetic Justice Foundation, had contacted Nikita Jacob to organise a ‘tweetstorm’ ahead of the January 26 violence.
Nikita Jacob has approached the Bombay High Court for protection from arrest for four weeks. Jacob has also asked for a copy of the FIR and has claimed that the Delhi Police came to her house in Mumbai on February 11 with a search warrant and seized gadgets and documents.
Earlier, the Delhi Police contacted Google, seeking registration details and activity log of the account through which a "toolkit" related to the farmers’ protest was created and uploaded on the social media platform.
Two e-mail IDs, one Instagram account, and one Uniform Resource Locator (URL) were mentioned in the toolkit and police have asked for details from the respective platforms.
A Delhi court, on February 14, remanded 22-year-old Disha Ravi to five days police custody following her arrest.
"I did not make the Toolkit. We wanted to support the farmers. I edited two lines on February 3," Disha told the court while breaking down.
A graduate of Mount Carmel college in Bengaluru, Disha was arrested from her home in Bengaluru and was produced in a Delhi court on February 14 without her lawyers.
