Delhi Commission for Women Chairperson Swati Maliwal on Tuesday sent a notice to the Delhi Police, seeking information on the arrest of 22-year old climate activist Disha Ravi from Bengaluru. The women’s panel asked the police to reply by February 19.
The letter, addressed to the Deputy Commissioner of Police of the Cyber Crime cell of the Delhi Police, cited media reports that said Ravi was brought to Delhi from Bengaluru without her parents being informed. It further said that she was brought to the national Capital without being presented before a court in Bengaluru for a transit remand, and was thereafter presented in a Delhi court without a lawyer of her choice.
