Nikita Jacob and Shantanu Muluk approach court for Anticipatory Bail

Mumbai, 16/2: Activists Nikita Jacob and Shantanu Muluk have approached court for anticipatory bail against their arrests. The Bombay High court will hear the pleas today. A non-bailable warrant has been issued against them for their alleged involvement in a ‘toolkit’ case of Swedish activist Greta Thunberg.

The Bombay High Court will today hear Ms Jacob’s request for protection from arrest for four weeks. On Sunday activist Disha Ravi was arrested for editing and sharing the ‘toolkit’ of Ms Thunberg.
