Disha Ravi Issues Statement on Arrest

‘Key Conspirator,’ Says Delhi Police on Ravi

Ravi was arrested by the Delhi Police from Bengaluru on charges of “sharing and spreading” a toolkit related to the farmers’ protest, that was posted by Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg.

Breaking down in the court, Ravi denied being part of any conspiracy and said, “I was just supporting farmers.” She added that she didn’t create the ‘toolkit’, and just made two edits to it.

Ravi was granted bail by the Patiala House Court on Tuesday, 23 February, and was released from Delhi’s Tihar jail the same day.

Additional Sessions Judge Dharmender Rana held that, “Considering the scanty and sketchy evidence on record, I do not find any palpable reason to breach the general rule of ‘Bail’ against a 22-year-old young lady, with absolutely blemish free criminal antecedents and having firm roots in the society, and send her to jail.”

Ravi was directed to furnish two sureties of Rs 1 lakh each for her release. Agarwal…
