Delhi Police to probe role of UK-based woman in toolkit case; suspect Nikita Jacob gets transit pre-arrest bail

New Delhi:  Delhi Police Wednesday said a UK-based woman based allegedly drafted the content of a “Twitter storm” campaign in February in support of the ongoing farmer agitation along with lawyer Nikita Jacob and engineer Shantanu Muluk and her role will be investigated.
In Mumbai, the Bombay High Court granted transit anticipatory bail to Nikita, a day after a similar interim relief was given to another suspect in the case Shantanu.
Justice P D Naik gave Nikita three weeks’ time to approach the court concerned in Delhi for relief.
The court in its order noted the applicant is a permanent resident of Mumbai and the FIR is lodged in Delhi, and the relief sought by her now is only temporary.
It said since Nikita would be approaching the court concerned in Delhi to seek anticipatory bail, it would not be appropriate for this court to make any observations on merits of the case.
Delhi Police, probing the “toolkit Google doc” backing the farmers’ agitation shared by climate activist Greta Thunberg, has arrested Bengaluru-based activist Disha Ravi.
