Toolkit Case
Toolkit case: Delhi court to hear activist-lawyer Nikita Jacob's bail plea on Mar 9
New Delhi/UNI: The Patiala House court in Delhi on Tuesday said that it would hear anticipatory bail plea of social activist and lawyer Nikita Jacob in the toolkit case on March 9.
Additional Sessions Judge Dharmender Rana was hearing the petition of Jacob through video conferencing.
After the public prosecutor said the agency needed time to file a detailed reply to Jacob's plea, the court allowed the Delhi police to file its reply till March 9.
The court is scheduled to hear the anticipatory bail plea of another co-accused, Shantanu Muluk, on March 9.
During the course of hearing, senior counsel Rebecca John, appearing for Jacob, said she wanted to argue on her plea as a stand alone case and not with Muluk's.
The court said she could argue on March 9.
According to police, Jacob was a committed operator of the Toolkit.
She used to address it as a 'communication package'. The police are analysing about 115 to 120 GB of data which included WhatsApp chats, e-mails, and data recovered from Jacob's pen drive, mobile and desktop.
She was using applications like Signal and Telegram for communication, police say.
