Bibhav Kumar Arrested at Arvind Kejriwal’s Residence in Swati Maliwal Case
Bibhav Kumar Arrested by Delhi Police
The Delhi Police have arrested Bibhav Kumar for allegedly assaulting AAP MP Swati Maliwal inside Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s house in the national capital.
Accusations of Assault
Swati Maliwal has accused Bibhav Kumar, Arvind Kejriwal’s personal assistant, of repeatedly slapping her and kicking her in the stomach and pelvic area. The Delhi Police have charged Kumar under stringent sections of the IPC.
Arrest from Chief Minister’s Residence
Kumar was arrested from the Delhi Chief Minister’s residence. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is standing firmly behind Kumar, alleging that Swati Maliwal is targeting Arvind Kejriwal at the behest of the BJP.
AAP’s Allegations Against BJP
On Saturday, Delhi Minister Atishi claimed that the BJP coerced Swati Maliwal into filing the FIR using an old Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) case as leverage.
Atishi’s Press Conference
Atishi stated, “The Anti-Corruption Bureau of the BJP has filed a case against Swati Maliwal regarding the illegal recruitment of contractual employees in DCW.
- A chargesheet has been filed and the time of conviction is approaching. We believe that Swati Maliwal is being included in the conspiracy using this case. The BJP’s entire machinery, from the MHA to Delhi Police, was seen in action yesterday in Tis Hazari Court.”
Counter-Complaint by Bibhav Kumar
Bibhav Kumar has also filed a police complaint against Swati Maliwal, alleging that she abused him with the intent to assault.
Court Proceedings
Yesterday, the court repeatedly asked for a copy of the FIR from the police upon Bibhav Kumar’s demand, but it was not provided. The court had given time until this morning.
Today, Delhi Police responded that the FIR is sensitive and cannot be submitted to the court or given to the accused. This FIR has been sent to all media houses by the BJP, but BJP’s police claim they cannot give it to the accused,” Atishi added.
