Google agrees to identify creators of 'toolkit' doc shared by Greta Thunberg, say sources

Days after environment activist Greta Thunberg shared the 'toolkit' to protest revealing the plot to intensify protests in India, Google has agreed to identify the creators of the document, sources informed. The 'toolkit' in contention, which is a Google document, carries plans to intensify protests amid the farmers' agitation in a bid to defame India. The said document is also under the scanner of the Delhi Police, investigating its connection to the January 26 violence that broke out on the streets of the national capital in the garb of the farmers' protest. Earlier on February 5, the Delhi Police had sought details of several accounts from Instagram and Google in connection with the 'toolkit'. The Delhi Police had also written to Google to get the IP address or the location from where the 'toolkit' shared and uploaded on the social media platform to identify its creators. Prior to that, the Delhi Police filed an FIR in connection with the 'toolkit' which was exposed by Republic Media Network, alleging that it aimed to wage a "social, cultural and economic war against the Government of India".

The 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."
