Toolkit case: Disha Ravi moves Delhi HC against violative reporting by TV channels
She has moved the Delhi HC seeking to restrain Delhi Police from leaking any material regarding the investigation related to case to the media.
22-year-old climate change activist Disha Ravi, who was arrested and sent to five-day police custody by Delhi Police in Greta Thunberg toolkit case, has moved the Delhi High Court seeking action against news channels India Today, News 18 and Times Now for violative reporting in the case, reported LiveLaw.
Delhi HC will hear the plea today (Thursday) at 2.15 pm. The hearing will be heard before Justice Prathiba Singh of Delhi HC.
The Delhi Police on Tuesday defended the arrest of activist Disha Ravi in the toolkit case, asserting it has acted in accordance with the law, even as another suspect Shantanu Muluk was granted a 10-day pre-arrest bail by the Bombay High Court. Intensifying its probe, the police have sought details from video conferencing platform Zoom about a January 11 meeting by a pro-Khalistan group on the controversial toolkit backing the farmers stir that has been cited by critics as proof of a conspiracy to fuel protests in India. Ravi, who was on Sunday sent to a five-day police custody after being arrested in Bengaluru for allegedly creating the toolkit, was allowed by a Delhi court on Tuesday to speak with her family members over the phone for 15 minutes a day and meet her lawyer for 30 minutes a day.
