"If Manish Sisodia Was Here...": Swati Maliwal's Post Amid AAP Protest Call

Arvind Kejriwal has announced a protest march to the BJP headquarters today

Hitting out at the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) protest march over the political row surrounding her alleged assault, party MP Swati Maliwal has said that those who hit the streets for justice for the Delhi gangrape victim are now doing so to protect an accused. किसी दौर में हम सब निर्भया को इंसाफ़ दिलाने के लिए सड़क पर निकलते थे, आज 12 साल बाद सड़क पर निकले हैं ऐसे आरोपी को बचाने के लिए जिसने CCTV फुटेज ग़ायब किए और Phone format किया?काश इतना ज़ोर मनीष सिसोदिया जी के लिए लगाया होता। वो यहाँ होते तो शायद मेरे साथ इतना बुरा नहीं होता! pic.twitter.com/kXAAMLgPcg

Referring to the protest in the wake of the 2012 Delhi gangrape-murder, Ms Maliwal posted on X, "There was a time when he hit the streets to get justice for Nirbhaya. Twelve years later, they are hitting the streets to save an accused who deleted CCTV footage and formatted the phone."

Delhi Police have said Bibhav Kumar, former personal secretary to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and main accused in the assault case, may have been involved in tampering with the CCTV footage of the Chief Minister's home to destroy evidence. Kumar has also formatted his phone, Delhi cops have said in the remand note. The close aide of Mr Kejriwal has been arrested and is in police custody.
