The Delhi Police on Saturday took Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal’s PA Bibhav Kumar into custody after a complaint was filed by Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal stating Kumar assaulted her when she went to meet Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal at his residence at 6 Flagstaff Road, New Delhi, on May 13.
According to the first information report (FIR) lodged by Maliwal at Cvil Lines Police Station, while she was waiting to meet Kejriwal at his residence, Bibhav approached her and, without provocation, began to attack her.
Maliwal claims he slapped her at least 7-8 times while she kept screaming.
“I pushed him away to defend myself. At that moment, he lunged at me, dragged me brutally, and deliberately pulled up my shirt. I told him that I was on my period, but he didn’t stop and continued to assault me, kicking and punching my chest, stomach, and pelvis. I was in severe pain and kept asking him to stop,” she said in the FIR.
According to Maliwal, After the attack, she called 112 to report the incident. When Kumar realised she had dialled 112, he left the scene.
Bibhav then returned with security personnel from the main gate of the Chief Minister’s camp office. They came and, on Vibhav’s instructions, asked her to leave.
In the case of the alleged assault on MP Swati Maliwal, a team of Delhi Police, along with forensic experts, visited Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence on Friday evening. The team stayed at the residence for about an hour. Later, the police brought Maliwal to the CM’s residence and recreated the crime scene.
