Toolkit Case: Shantanu Granted Protection From Arrest Till 9 March

·1 min read

A Delhi court on Thursday, 25 February, granted protection from arrest to activist Shantanu Muluk till 9 March in connection with the ‘toolkit case’.

According to reports, the Delhi Police sought more time to file a detailed reply on his anticipatory bail plea, following which they were directed by Additional Sessions Judge Dharmender Rana not to take any coercive action against him, with the hearing adjourned till 9 March.

Muluk had moved the court seeking anticipatory bail on Tuesday.

The Delhi Police is probing the 'toolkit Google doc' which supported the farmers' agitation and was shared by climate activist Greta Thunberg.

Earlier, Muluk and lawyer Nikita Jacob had been granted anticipatory bail by the Bombay High Court.

Disha Ravi Granted Bail Earlier

On Tuesday, arrested climate activist Disha Ravi was granted bail by the Patiala House Court in the same case.

In a press briefing earlier this month, the Delhi Police had said that Shantanu was the owner of the email account from which the toolkit was created.

The police had further claimed that a Zoom meeting took place on 11 January, attended by Jacob and Shantanu and organised by the Poetic Justice Foundation – which the police deems as a ‘pro-Khalistani’ organisation, in which "the modalities of the Global Day of Action were worked out".

Violence had broken out in several parts of Delhi on 26 January during the protesting farmers' Republic Day tractor rally.

The United States approved a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine this week and said the first deliveries should arrive in a matter of days, easing acute shortages of artillery shells that have hamstrung Kyiv's forces for months. As the aid was finalised after six months of congressional wrangling, Russia's defence minister said on Tuesday that Moscow would increase attacks on logistics centres and storage sites holding Western weapons.

  • Core services are a 'big problem' for the Fed: UBS Economist

    March's Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data was consistent with expectations, reporting a 0.3% month-over-month rise. However, it slightly exceeded projections on a year-over-year basis, coming in at 2.7%. UBS Global Wealth Management Senior US Economist Brian Rose joins The Morning Brief to analyze how these figures could influence the Federal Reserve's rate cut outlook. Rose acknowledges that the current inflation data "has been too high" for the Fed to embark on monetary easing. He identifies "the big problem for the Fed" as core services, factors tied to robust demand and wage growth: "This is where they need to see disinflation," he says. In March, the core PCE inflation figure stood at 2.8%.  While Rose predicts the Fed could initiate rate cuts in September, he cautioned that if inflation data persists at elevated levels, "it could get pushed back even further."
