Over 300 alumni of Mount Carmel College in Bengaluru have written a letter of support and condemned the arrest of fellow alumnus Disha Ravi by the Delhi Police in the farm protest "toolkit" case. Condemning the arrest and the charges as "frivolous", the letter states that "targeting" of a young woman for supporting farmers is "completely unacceptable". Disha's arrest, the letter further states, "is a way to browbeat young, articulate women - which Mount Carmel College has produced for generations - into silent submission".
