Disha: S**t.. S**t
Disha (9:25 pm): Sending it to you..
Disha (9:35 pm): Ok can you not tweet the toolkit at all..can we just not say anything at all for a while? I am gonna talk to lawyers. I am sorry but our names are on it and we can literally get UAPA against us.

Greta (9:40 pm): I need to write something
Disha (9:40 pm): Can you give me five minutes I am talking to the lawyers

Disha (9:41 pm): I am really really sorry.. We are all panicking because this is getting really bad here

Disha (9:41 pm): But we will make sure you are in the clear
