New Delhi: Nikita Jacob, accused in the alleged anti-India toolkit case in support of the farmer movement, has got bail from the Bombay High Court. The Mumbai High Court has stayed Nikita’s arrest for three days on Wednesday. In the case of arrest, Nikita will be released on a personal bond of Rs 25,000 and the same bail amount. Justice PD Naik gave Jacob three weeks to approach the court for relief in Delhi.
On Tuesday, another suspect in the case, Shantanu Muluk, an engineer based in Maharashtra’s Beed district, was also granted anticipatory bail by HC’s Aurangabad bench for 10 days. Jacob and Muluk, who claim to be environmental activists, approached the High Court after a Delhi court issued a non-bailable warrant against them.
According to the Delhi Police, the arrested accused Disha Ravi along with a Bangalore activist were allegedly involved in the preparation of documents and were in direct contact with “Khalistani elements”. Delhi Police on Monday alleged that Ravi along with Jacob and Shantanu created a toolkit and shared it with others to tarnish India’s image.
