In a blow to Delhi police, a court on Tuesday granted bail to climate activist Disha Ravi, arrested for allegedly being involved in sharing a “toolkit” on social media related to the farmers’’ protest, terming evidence produced by police as “scanty and sketchy”.

The court said there is nothing on record to establish any direct link between Ravi and pro­Khalistan activists of ‘Poetic Justice Foundation’ (PJF) and also there is not even an iota of evidence brought connecting the perpetrators of the violence on January 26 with the PJF or her. It added that there is nothing on record to suggest that the activist subscribed to any secessionist idea and there is absolutely no link established on record between her and banned outfit Sikhs for Justice.
