Shantanu Muluk, accused in 'toolkit' case, granted protection from arrest till 9 March

New Delhi: A court in the city on Thursday granted protection from arrest to Shantanu Muluk in the toolkit case till 9 March. Muluk, along with Disha Ravi, is accused of sharing a "toolkit" on social media related to the farmers' protest.

Additional Sessions Judge Dharmender Rana granted the relief to the activist after the Delhi Police said it needed time to conduct further interrogation before filing a detailed reply to Muluk's anticipatory bail plea.

The judge noted the submission and directed the police not to take any coercive action against Muluk till 9 March, when court will further hear the matter.

Earlier, Muluk had got transit bail from the Bombay High Court on 16 February for a period of 10 days.

He, along with Ravi and Nikita Jacob, was booked for alleged sedition and other charges.
