Toolkit case: Delhi court sends Disha Ravi to 3-day judicial custody
The tweet comes six days after Disha was arrested by a Cyber Cell team of the Delhi Police from Bengaluru.
Earlier in the day, a Delhi court sent Disha Ravi to three-day judicial custody.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Akash Jainsent Ravi, 21, to jail after Delhi Police produced her before the court on expiry of her five-day custodial interrogation.
Police said that her custodial interrogation was not required for the time being and the agency may seek her further interrogation once her co-accused –Shantanu Mukul and Nikita JacobJacob — join the interrogation.
Police said Ravi was evasive during her previous interrogation and tried to shift blame on the co-accused.
