Delhi police on Saturday detained former personal secretary of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Bibhav Kumar, in connection with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Swati Maliwal assault case. In her complaint to the police, Maliwal alleged Kumar attacked her at Kejriwal’s residence on May 14 with “full force, slapping and kicking her in the chest and abdomen.”
According to National Commission For Women (NCW) Chairperson Rekha Sharma, Kumar was ‘arrested’ from Kejriwal’s home.
“Delhi CM’s aid Bibhav Kumar got arrested from his house. So CM was giving shelter to alleged criminal,” she said in a post on X.
In its probe into the incident, the Delhi Police on Friday took Maliwal to the CM’s residence to recreate the crime scene, an official said, adding that her statement was also recorded before a magistrate at the Tis Hazari court.
In the FIR, Maliwal claimed that Kumar hit her with “full force again and again” and she was “kicked and slapped seven to eight times”. She also alleged that despite telling him that she was menstruating and in pain, he did not budge.
