Disha Ravi Granted Bail in Toolkit Case

News Cover: 22-year-old Disha Ravi was arrested on February 13 from her Bengaluru home by the Delhi police. Disha is an environmental activist.

According to the police, she was arrested because She had created a Toolkit providing information about the farmers' protests.

She even collaborated with the ‘Poetic Justice Foundation’.They are a group that supports the Khalistan movement. She has been in jail since then.

During the Delhi High court hearing, appearing for Ravi, lawyer Sidharth Agarwal said that she has no links with the Khalistan movement and has not instigated farmers in any way. She only advocates for the environment. 

The Delhi High Court said, creating a WhatsApp group or editing a Toolkit does not mean you are breaking the law. 

The court also said that there is no proof against Disha, that suggests that she provoked farmers to protest on 26th January. She has no criminal history. 

Also, citizens have the freedom of speech and can speak against the government’s policies if they wish.

Because of these reasons, the court has granted her bail.
