Following the arrest of climate activist Disha Ravi, Netizens are busy sharing memes and having fun. The activist who is 22-year old was taken into custody by the Delhi Police for her alleged involvement in the sharing of Toolkit.

The Delhi police raided Disha Ravi’s home on Saturday and was later arrested. She was charged with sedition and criminal conspiracy and will remain in police custody for five days.

“Disha Ravi, arrested by CyPAD unit of Delhi Police, is an Editor of the Toolkit Google Document and key conspirator in the document's formulation and dissemination. She started a WhatsApp Group and collaborated to make the Toolkit doc. She worked closely with them to draft the doc,” posted Delhi police.

The police further reported that Disha and other conspirators got together with the pro-Khalistani Poetic Justice Foundation and spread disaffection against India. Disha even shared the Toolkit doc with Greta.

A native of Bengaluru, Disha is 22 year-old BBA graduate from Mount Carmel College and is part of the climate activist group called, “Fridays for Future.” She started the Indian wing of the group in 2019. She also organized various campaigns in order to spread awareness regarding climate change.

As per Indian Constitution, Everyone below 18 is minor. So everyone is mature at 21.

At 21, I was writing for magazines and papers, besides studying for a career. I was not editing toolkits for separatists and foreign forces to destabilise my nation.
