Delhi Police is set to write to Google to get the IP address or the location from where the ‘Toolkit’ document was created and uploaded on the social media platform.
According to Police sources, this inquiry is being done to identify the authors of the ‘Toolkit’ which was shared on Google Docs.
“Delhi Police is going to write to Google to get the IP address or the location from where the doc was made and uploaded on the social media platform. This is being done to identify the authors of the toolkit which was shared on the Google Doc,” Delhi Police sources said.
Addressing a press conference, Delhi Police Special Commissioner Praveer Ranjan on Thursday said they had registered a case against creators of ‘Toolkit’ and no one had been named in the FIR.
“We have not named anybody in the FIR. It is only against the creators of the ‘toolkit’ which is a matter of investigation. Delhi Police will be investigating that case,” he said.
Ranjan said protests by farmers at Delhi borders have been going on for days and Delhi Police has been closely monitoring several social media accounts.
The senior Delhi Police officer said initial investigation has suggested the document’s link with a pro-Khalistan group, named ‘Poetic Justice Foundation’.
He said considering the unfolding of events in the past few days, including the violence on January 26, it has revealed “copycat execution” of the action plan mentioned in the ‘toolkit’ which was also aimed at waging “a social, cultural and economic war against the Government of India.”
Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg stirred a controvery when she tweeted, “Here’s a toolkit if you want to help,” which takes the user to a document containing details on ways to support the protest.
In the document, various urgent actions, including creating a Twitter storm and protesting outside Indian embassies, were listed which were needed to be taken to support the farmers’ protest.
