New Delhi: On Sunday, Delhi chief minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal will hold a demonstration outside the BJP headquarters in Delhi to protest the arrest of Bibhav Kumar, his personal assistant (PA), in the Swati Maliwal alleged assault case. Kumar, who was arrested by Delhi Police from the CM’s residence on Saturday, allegedly beat up Maliwal, an AAP Rajya Sabha member, at Kejriwal’s home on May 13.
CM Kejriwal shared a video from the demonstration on official account of AAP on X.
A day after the altercation, the party acknowledged that Kumar “misbehaved” with Maliwal, but took a U-turn on Friday, and called the episode a “conspiracy” hatched by the BJP and the ex-Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief to “target” Arvind Kejriwal. It has released two CCTV footages to “corroborate” its claims.
The BJP has dismissed the AAP’s charge. Meanwhile, Maliwal’s medical report – her medical checkup was conducted on Thursday night at AIIMS – shows injuries to her left leg and right cheek.
According to the medico-legal case (MLC) report, there is a bruise of 3×2 centimetre over her “proximal left leg dorsal aspect” and another 2×2 centimetre over her “right cheek below her right eye.”
“They (BJP) are arresting our leaders one by one. Delhi CM says that we are coming with all our leaders so that you can arrest every leader at once. BJP office has become a police station and Modi has become the in-charge of it. Their situation now is that they are doubting if they will be able to get even 150 seats,” says AAP MLA Rajesh Rishi.
