Toolkit case: Delhi Commission for Women sends notice to Delhi Police, seeks detailed report on Disha Ravi’s arrest

NEW DELHI: The Delhi Commission for Women has sent a notice to the Delhi Police on the arrest of 21-year-old climate activist Disha Ravi in the ‘toolkit’ case and sought a report on issues like why she was not provided a lawyer of her choice when produced before a court here. Taking cognisance of media reports, the panel in a statement, issued on Tuesday, also said that Ravi was produced before a court in Delhi without a lawyer of her choice being present there.

The activist was arrested from Bengaluru on Saturday by the Delhi Police for allegedly creating and sharing a protest toolkit backing the farmers’ agitation against the Centre’s new agri laws.
