Even today, I got information that y are giving rings to officers and teachers and saying that we are calling from Trinamool Congress office. And y are giving some misinformation. And when y crosschecked number from where y are talking, y have seen BJP IT member numbers and y are calling from private numbers. And y are abusing Trinamool Congress in social networks- Twitter and Facebook. So, it is ir phememon. y cant spare a 21-year-old girl."

She ded, "y can spare only nuisance creating people. That is most unfortunate- discrimination. Why is BJP misusing social network like this? Can y phone in name of Trinamool Congress- my party without my consent? Is courtesy?"

Delhi Police arrests Disha Ravi

On February 3, Greta Thunberg stirred a row by posting a toolkit for people to help in agitation against farm laws.  6-p document titled 'Ask India Why' consisted of detailed instructions to target Indian government and a few Indian corporate enterprises, in garb of farmers' protest. After tweet and its contents were highlighted by Republic Media Network, environmental activist deleted it and posted an updated version of document which is a toned-down version of original one. However, Delhi Police registered an FIR against  authors of toolkit under Sections 120, 124A, 153, and 153A of Indian Penal Code. 

In connection with this, 21-year-old activist Disha Ravi was arrested by Delhi Police on January 13 and was remanded to police custody for 5 days after being produced in front of a magistrate on Sunday. dressing a press briefing earlier in day, Delhi Police Cyber Cell Joint CP Prem Nath revealed that "action plan" outlined in toolkit was carried out in Delhi on January 26 resulting in 510 police personnel getting injured. Moreover, he alleged that Shantanu, Nikita Jacob and Disha Ravi are creators of toolkit. 

Claiming that incriminating evidence was also found from Disha's device, he justified action against 21-year-old activist citing that Jacob did t cooperate with police. ditionally, he allayed concerns about manner of her arrest. According to senior official, Disha, Shantanu and Nikita Jacob participated in a Zoom meeting organised by pro-Khalistani Poetic Justice Foundation on January 11 to shape modalities for action plan on Republic Day. Meanwhile, n-bailable warrants have been issued by court against Jacob and Shantanu who are absconding at present.
