The All India Students' Association (AISA) staged a protest at the Delhi Police headquarters on Tuesday against the arrest of Bangalore-based environment activist Disha Ravi in the ''toolkit'' case. Ravi was arrested in Bengaluru on Saturday by the Delhi Police for allegedly creating and sharing a protest toolkit backing the farmers' agitation, the same toolkit was shared on Twitter by Greta Thunberg and helped to organise efforts to support the protest movement. Delhi Police argued the toolkit was shared with others to tarnish India's image. Mathuramma, member of the AISA said, "it's an illegal arrest. First, procedures were not followed. Secondly, the arrest is completely illogical, a 21-year-old girl who is an environmental activist is tweeting a supposed toolkit." The protest ended with the submission of a memorandum to the Commissioner of Police raising the demand for the immediate release of Disha Ravi. According to Indian media, the number of farmers protesting the reformed agricultural laws has begun to thin out as they return to their farms, with around half remaining with protests in their 83rd day. #DishaRavi #India #AISA #Delhi #FarmersProtests
