New Delhi: Investigations into the "toolkit" tweeted by teen climate activist Greta Thunberg and others in connection with the farmers' protest - a document police claim indicates a conspiracy behind the violence in Delhi on Republic Day - has "revealed a lot", Foreign Minister S Jaishankar said today.

Mr Jaishankar said more details would be uncovered as Delhi Police continues its probe, and took a swipe at "some celebrities" for speaking on matters "which they obviously didn't know very much".

"It has revealed a lot. We've to wait and see what else comes out. There was a reason why the Foreign Ministry reacted to statements which some celebrities gave out on matters on which they obviously didn't know very much," he was quoted by news agency ANI.

On Wednesday Ms Thunberg, 18, shared a "toolkit" with ideas to show support for the farmers, but many of those ideas were meant for Republic Day.

She subsequently deleted that and, the next day shared a new link, writing "they (people on the ground in India) removed their previous document as it was outdated".

Yesterday the Cyber Cell unit of Delhi Police wrote to Google and social media companies, asking for information on e-mail IDs, URLs and details of accounts linked to the document's creators.

A senior police officer told news agency PTI the document had been created by certain people and that it was important to identify them since there was an "element of conspiracy". He said initial inquiries had linked the document to the "Poetic Justice Foundation", a pro-Khalistan group.

A day earlier the police lodged an FIR (first information report) against the document's "pro-Khalistan" creators for waging a "social, cultural and economic war" against India.
