Delhi Police on Monday issued non-bailable warrants against two people for allegedly sharing the "toolkit" related to the farmers' protest on social media.
Police said the duo, Nikita Jacob and Shantanu, was allegedly involved in preparing the document and was in direct touch with pro-Khalistani elements.
The development comes after a 21-year-old activist, Disha Ravi, was arrested from Bengaluru and sent to five days police remand on Sunday by a Delhi court.
Delhi Police alleged that Disha Ravi along with Nikita Jacob and Shantanu created the "toolkit" document related to the farmers' protest and shared in on social media.
Addressing a press conference, Joint Commissioner of Police (Cyber) Prem Nath claimed that Disha deleted a WhatsApp group she created to spread the "toolkit".
Nath claimed that Nikita and Shantanu attended a zoom meeting organised by 'pro-khalistani' group Poetic Justice Foundation (PJF) and added that Jacob was also one of the editors of "toolkit" document.
Greta Thunberg, a teen climate activist, had shared the "toolkit" to lend her support to the farmers' agitation against the three farm reform laws. In the document, various urgent actions, including creating a Twitter storm and protesting outside Indian embassies, were listed which were needed to be taken to support the farmers' protest.
