NEW DELHI: A Delhi court asked police on Saturday to come forward evidence and don’t follow “guess or guess” when you objected to the climate activist’s bail request Disha ravi, accusing her of being linked to defenders of Khalistan. Police claimed that Ravi was preparing the toolkit and was part of a global conspiracy to smear India and create disturbances in farmers’ attire. protest.
He said the toolkit “was not innocent, it was not innocuous” and acted as a gateway to online links that smear the country. But additional sessions judge Dharmender Rana was unconvinced and inundated additional attorney general SV Raju with inquiries demanding evidence. What is a toolkit? Can it be incriminating in itself? What exactly is the evidence linking this lady to the January 26 violence? “asked the court.
Is there any evidence or should we rely on guesswork and guesswork? the court asked at a hearing, at the end of which it published the bail request for warrants on February 23. ASG Raju stated that it was not just a simple toolkit. “The real plan was to smear India and create riots here … she was aware of the criminality of her actions.” Police said a comprehensive investigation is underway that will reveal a “sinister design.” Claimed that Disha he removed WhatsApp chats, emails and other evidence and was aware of the legal action he could face. “Why did Disha Ravi cover his tracks and erase evidence if no wrong was done?” The prosecution said, claiming that this shows his guilty mind and sinister design.
During the hearing, ASJ Rana also questioned the police about the evidence connecting Ravi to the Khalistan movement. “How can you impute the same intention to me just because I know certain people with bad credentials or because I am emotionally attached to a cause? Just because I approached a thief for the temple donation, did I find out about dacoity? asked the judge, noting that Poetic Justice Foundation (PJF) is not prohibited, nor is there FIR against the founders. “Everyone knows Mo Dhaliwal (founder of PJF). Why would you meet with such a person? “asked the police.
“No, I do not know who Mo Dhaliwal is,” replied the judge. ASG Raju maintained that the conspiracy can only be deduced through circumstantial evidence and cited tweets from the defendants. But the court wondered whether it should “presume that there is now no direct link.” and asked the police to show a link between the conspiracy and the actual crime. “I cannot move forward until I satisfy my judicial conscience,” ASJ Rana said, even as police claimed they were still investigating the matter. Representing Disha, attorney Siddharth Agarwal rejected the allegations made by the police, arguing that there is no evidence to show that the Farmers’ Protest Toolkit is responsible for or links it to the January 26 violence. Sikhs for Justice (SFJ). “She is not a rebel without a cause.
Her cause is the environment and agriculture and the interrelation between them, “said Disha’s lawyer, adding that” if the crime is that she protested peacefully or announced about a peaceful protest and it amounts to ‘sedition’, then she he is guilty. “The lawyer also joined the allegations in the FIR that yoga and chai were being attacked.
“If I (Disha) prefer kung fu to yoga, will I become a Chinese spy? It is part of the FIR, it is that sedition… there is no evidence linking me to Sikhs For Justice, a prohibited organization. And even if I do meet someone, there is no symbol on him that he is a secessionist, “said the defense attorney. “It’s a very nice word in English, conspiracy. I learned it from Mr. Raju himself, ‘jiska koi nahi hota, uska conspiracy hota hai’ ”.
Lawyer Agarwal also attacked the police claim that a conspiracy in Khalistan was taking advantage of protests against the farm law to cause riots. However, Judge Rana was quick to point out that there could be another possibility in the case. “Dushman ka dushman dost hota hai,” he commented, outlining the prosecution case.
But Disha’s lawyer reiterated that there was no evidence. “There is no one arrested in connection with the violence in the Red Fort who says they were inspired to do the same by the toolkit. They speak of a Zoom call. Is it evidence that I spoke during a Zoom call? “At the end of the hearing, ASG Raju refuted Disha’s claims and claimed that the final toolkit was also shared with PJF, a secessionist organization advocating for the creation of Khalistan.
