The Hindu
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday granted one last opportunity to the Centre and the Delhi police to submit their response to climate activist Disha Ravi’s plea to restrain the police from leaking case documents relating to the FIR lodged against her in the “toolkit” case.
Justice Prathiba M. Singh asked them to file their counter affidavits within two weeks and posted the case for further hearing on May 18. The 22-year-old activist has stated that she is “severely aggrieved and prejudiced by the media trial surrounding her arrest and the ongoing investigation, where she is being viscerally attacked by the Respondent No. 1 (Special Cell, Delhi Police) and several media houses... on the basis of leaked investigative matter”.More Related News
