Toolkit case: Delhi Police refutes Disha Ravi's editing claim; says 'shared doc to Greta'

Refuting 21-year-old climate activist Disha Ravi's claims, Delhi police on Sunday, stated that Ravi had done more than 'editing 2 lines of toolkit' document. Alleging that Ravi had started a Whatsapp group to collaborate with 'toolkit' authors - pro-Khalistani group 'Poetic Justice Foundation', Delhi police added that she had shared document with Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and later asked to remove 'main doc'. Ravi has been remanded to police custody for five days by Patiala House Court, after she was picked by Delhi police in Bengaluru.

Disha Ravi arrested

Delhi police's special cell arrested 21-year-old climate activist Disha Ravi for allegedly disseminating 'toolkit' related to farmers' protests on social media- same one shared by climate activist Greta Thunberg in Bengaluru on Sunday. Arguing for Delhi Police, public prosecutor alleged a large conspiracy against government of India to rebuild Khalistan group via toolkit and claimed that re were thousands of people involved in it. In her defence, Disha Ravi claimed that she had edited just two lines of toolkit and said that she was influenced by farmers' protests and reby extended her support to m. She also argued that every party, including BJP, had its own toolkit and that she was t aware of any large conspiracy behind toolkit, breaking down in court.

On February 5, Delhi Special  CP Crime Praveer Ranjan said that a case has been filed on authors of 'toolkit document' shared by Thunberg as it aimed to create disaffection and disharmony. Addressing a press conference, Ranjan said that FIR filed under sections 124 A (sedition), 120 B (criminal conspiracy), 153 A (spreading hatred among communities) of  IPC, did t name anyone. Pointing out that 'prior actions' section of tool-kit - authored by Poetic Justice Foundation (PJF), Ranjan said that it was a 'planned conspiracy to execute such a plan'.

What is 'toolkit'?

Under its 'AskIndiaWhy' campaign, PFJ had created a toolkit which was shared by Thunberg, titled 'Global Farmers Strike- First Wave', which seems to have been in circulation since early January. It had encourd people to organise solidarity protests eir at or near Indian Embassies, local government offices or offices of various multinational Adani and Ambani companies. It also urged people to participate in farmers' tractor rally on Republic Day - which had ended in violence - killing one farmer and injuring 510 police officers.

Later PFJ updated ir 'toolkit' - which was again shared by Thunberg, aimimg to get global attention on ongoing farmers' protest urging people to tweet at PMO & Tomar, call or email govt representatives, sign online petitions and on-ground action near closest Indian Embassy, Media House, or your local Govt. office on 13th/14th February 2021. updated 'toolkit' claimed  that "India has a long history of human rights violations, violence, and a cruel indifference for its most vulnerable citizens." and states that, "It is paramount to put international pressure on India’s Government." It also removes Republic Day plan from AskIndiaWhy's 'prior actions' - 'plan' has w been deunced by PFJ.
