Bhibhav Kumar, Kejriwal’s aide, has been summoned by NCW over assault allegations by AAP MP Swati Maliwal, sparking controversy and speculation
The National Commision of Women (NCW) has summoned the aide of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on May 16 over allegations of assault of AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal.
The hearing of Bhibhav Kumar is scheduled for May 17 at 11 a.m., according to the summon.
The National Commission of Women (NCW) took suo moto cognizance of a media post titled "Ex-D Chief Swati Maliwal accuses Arvind Kejriwal's personal secretary of assaulting her," where she claimed that she was brutally assaulted at the Chief Minister's residence by Bhibhav Kumar, Kejriwal's Private Secretary.
In light of these accusations, the Commission issued a notice, emphasising that failure to comply could result in further actions as deemed necessary by them.
This incident has stirred controversy and speculation, as Mr. Kumar, a key figure in the Chief Minister's office, faces serious allegations from a prominent public figure like Ms. Maliwal.
Ms. Maliwal on May 13 went to the Civil Lines police station and alleged that a member of the Delhi Chief Minister's personal staff "assaulted" her at the Chief Minister's official residence, police officials had said earlier. She is yet to file a formal complaint in the matter.
On May 14, Mr. Sanjay Singh addressed a press conference and said the incident with Maliwal was a "highly condemnable" one.
