Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has been in the limelight for the past few days. The chaos and allegations began when MP Swati Maliwal called 112 to Delhi police claiming that Kejriwal’s PA Bibhav Kumar had assaulted her. Swati Maliwal has since been sent for a medical test and AAP’s Atishi Marlena held a press conference claiming that it’s a BJP conspiracy.
Swati Maliwal’s allegations
Swati Maliwal called 112 and called the Delhi police from CM Arvind Kejriwal’s house. On the call, she claimed that she was assaulted and physically attacked by Kejriwal’s PA Bibhav Kumar. She later in her FIR claimed that she was kicked and punched in her chest, legs and hands. She was also pushed which led to her hitting her head on the table in the drawing room.
She also alleged that Arvind Kejriwal was present in the house and knew about the assault.

She explained their side of the story claiming that Swati Maliwal was present outside the CM house without permission. Swati forcefully barged into the house without prior notice and started fighting with the officials. Atishi said that Swati is purposely blaming Bibhav because they didn’t allow her to enter the house.
In the video shared the MP was seen saying that she had called 112 and would get the officials removed from their job if they touched her.
The AAP on Sunday hit out on the Delhi Police blaming them for planting fake evidence in support of MP Swati Maliwal and said, “I believe an investigation agency should be impartial. The way of Delhi Police has been planting fake news from day one, it is clear that it is working to create an election narrative for the BJP.”
Delhi Police takes action
The Delhi police conducted Swati Maliwal’s medical test to determine if the assault took place. The medical test was conducted.
The police yesterday submitted in the court that the CCTV footage from the CM’s house had been erased. Working on this, the police confiscated the electronic devices, including the Digital Video Recorder (DVR).
Bibhav Kumar was also produced before the local court on Saturday late at night and remanded five days of custody. It’s reported that Kumar handed over his mobile phone to the police but refused to disclose the password. Moreover, the police claimed that the phone had been formatted just a day before, citing technical issues.
The case against Bibhav Kumar includes serious charges such as molestation, attempted culpable homicide, wrongful restraint, assault, criminal intimidation, and insulting the modesty of a woman. The FIR was registered at the Civil Lines police station in Delhi.
