New Delhi: The Delhi Police has identified the producers and editors of the 'toolkit' document, which includes Disha Ravi, Nikita Jacob, Puneet and Shantanu.The 'toolkit', police claimed, was designed to allegedly defame the country and spoil the environment by weaponising the issue of farmers' agitation.
Disha has been arrested in this case while the police have issued a non-bailable warrant against Nikita Jacob and Shantanu.Joint Commissioner of Police (Cyber) Prem Nath, claimed in a press conference on Monday that the hashtag was fixed for Twitter Storm at this meeting and the entire plan was made.
Police said that these people wanted to propagate as much as possible.He said that the 'toolkit' conspiracy involved the 'pro-Khalistani' group Poetic Justice Foundation.The 'toolkit' was created in January to intensify the agitation.
