Delhi police arrest Arvind Kejriwal's aide Bibhav Kumar in assault case against AAP's Swati Maliwal, sparking political controversy.
The Delhi police on Saturday arrested Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s aide Bibhav Kumar in connection with a case of alleged assault on the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal.
Hours before his arrest, a court dismissed the anticipatory bail plea filed by Mr. Kumar who too has lodged a complaint against Ms. Maliwal for gaining “unauthorised entry” into the CM’s residence and verbally abusing him.
The police produced Mr. Kumar in the Tis Hazari court, to seek his remand for interrogation. Earlier, they had escorted him to Aruna Asif Ali hospital for medical examination after the arrest.
The arrest has sparked a war of words between AAP and the BJP in the national capital as the former termed the police action as “part of the BJP’s conspiracy”. The BJP, on the other hand, said that AAP has “minus credibility”.
As AAP leaders posted comments on social media questioning the complaint of Ms. Maliwal, the Rajya Sabha member posted on social media platform X that she had received information that the CCTV footage from the residence of the CM was being tampered with.
Meanwhile, the medico-legal report accessed by The Hindu showed that Ms. Maliwal had received injuries in the left leg and above her right cheekbone.
Sanjeev Nasiar, state president of AAP’s legal cell said, that Mr. Kumar had been arrested without being given a copy of the FIR. “We have filed an application in the court saying that we have not yet received a copy of the FIR. We wanted to go inside (Civil Lines police station) but we are being stopped,” he said.
