The Mumbai faction of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) organised a protest against the arrest of Disha Ravi by the Delhi Police. The 21-year-old climate activist from Bengaluru was arrested in connection with the farmers’ protest ‘toolkit’ case on Saturday. The AAP held the protest at Carter Road Ampitheatre in Bandra (West) at 4 pm, said Ruben Mascarenhas, national joint secretary, Aam Aadmi Party.

“Disha Ravi's arrest is clearly aimed at suppressing the participation of young adults in any activity expressing dissent against the government. It is an attempt to scare youth, their friends and family. Also, lots of lacunae in the judicial process. Was there a transit remand from Bangalore? Why didn't she have a lawyer? This is a clear case of cyber-crime and I don’t know why Delhi Police is involved in this. Five-day custody for such a case is too harsh,” said Mascarenhas.
