On February 4, Greta Thunberg had tweeted a link to the “toolkit” while expressing her support for the ongoing farmers’ protests. She stated that: “Here’s an updated toolkit by people on the ground in India if you want to help."
Likewise, the Delhi Police filed an FIR against its creators, after pro-government social media handles claimed that the “toolkit” was evidence of an international conspiracy to attack India.
The FIR was filed under sections 124A, 153A and 120B of the Indian Penal Code.
