Pertinently, Delhi Police Commissioner SN Shrivastava today said the arrest of the climate activist was made in accordance with law which "doesn't differentiate between a 22-year-old or 50-year-old".
Talking to reporters at an event here, Shrivastava said it is wrong when people say that there were lapses in the arrest of the 22-year-old activist.
Ravi was arrested from Bengaluru on Saturday in connection with a protest toolkit backing the farmers' agitation.
