Atishi accuses BJP of framing Arvind Kejriwal in Swati Maliwal assault case, dismissing claims as baseless.
Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi, while commenting on the Swati Maliwal assault case on May 17, said that the incident is a conspiracy by the BJP to frame Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Ms. Atishi, in a press conference in New Delhi, that Ms. Maliwal, who is a party MP in the Rajya Sabha, reached Mr. Kejriwal’s residence without an appointment. Her [Ms. Maliwal] intention was to level allegations against Arvind Kejriwal, Ms. Atishi said.
Swati Maliwal insisted on meeting Arvind Kejriwal, his aide Bibhav Kumar told her CM is busy; she shouted and tried to barge in, the Delhi State Minister said. “The incident proves it was a BJP conspiracy,” she added.
Dismissing Ms. Maliwal’s claims that she was brutally assaulted, Ms. Atishi noted that a video that surfaced on May 17 depicted an “entirely different reality”. The video shows Swati Maliwal threatening Bibhav Kumar, charges levelled by her baseless, Ms. Atishi said, adding that Mr. Kumar has lodged a complaint to police against Ms. Maliwal.
Meanwhile, The Delhi Police on May 17 took Ms. Maliwal to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence to recreate the crime scene as it investigates the alleged assault on her there earlier this week. Her statement in the case was recorded before a magistrate at the Tis Hazari court earlier in the day.
The police have booked Kejriwal's aide Bibhav Kumar over the assault.
