According to the Delhi Police, the editors of the toolkit collaborated with the Khalistani Poetry Justice Foundation to spread disagreement against the Indian state. Disha was the one who shared the toolkit Doc with Greta Thunberg.
Last week, Disha was produced in a Delhi court which sent her to five days of police custody. Disha Ravi ransacked inside the courtroom and told the judge that he had edited only two lines and wanted to support the farmers’ protest.
Earlier, the Delhi Police sent a communication to 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.
