Delhi Police has made the first arrest in connection with a controversial toolkit document that was tweeted by Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg. Police has arrested a 21-year-old activist Disha Ravi from Bengaluru yesterday. She was arrested by the Cyber Prevention Awareness and Detection team of Delhi Police. She was produced in a court which remanded her to five days police custody. An FIR in the case was registered earlier this month on February 4.

The police had earlier written to Google asking it to provide the original document uploaded by Greta.
