According to sources and media reports, the distressing episode is unfolding at the moment. Allegedly, Swati Maliwal made two PCR calls from the Delhi CM’s residence to the police. The first call alleges assault by Bibhav Kumar, former PA to CM Kejriwal. And some reports state that in the second PCR call Swati Maliwal claimed that CM Arvind Kejriwal himself asked Bibhav Kumar to assault her.
Thus, her calls to the Delhi police paint a picture of CM Arvind Kejriwal being party to the violence directed at her.
Delhi Police swiftly responded to the call by arriving at the scene to investigate the matter further.
Bibhav Kumar was dismissed from the post of Delhi CM’s personal secretary. Why? Well, the Delhi Vigilance Department called his appointment “illegal”. Therefore, he was fired. However, the man has a dark past. In 2007, he was involved in a case of assault and use of criminal force to obstruct a public servant from doing his duty.
BJP IT Cell Fires at AAP
As news of Maliwal’s assault allegation reverberated, the BJP has wasted no time in seizing this opportunity. The Tihar returned Kejriwal’s credibility will have a serious stain if Swati Maliwal and her allegations are proven. Amit Malviya, head of the BJP’s IT cell, took to social media to highlight Maliwal’s prior silence on Kejriwal’s arrest. The leader is insinuating a lack of consistency and integrity within the AAP leadership using this unfolding drama of violence.
As the controversy grows, questions loom large over the AAP’s handling of the situation and the veracity of Maliwal’s allegations.
Therefore, with the integrity of key party figures called into question including CM Arvind Kejriwal himself, the AAP faces a crucial test of its commitment to transparency and accountability.

Swati Maliwal’s assault allegation continues to keep the AAP’s name synonymous with scandals. However, this time it is not about funds but about the mistreatment and manhandling of a sitting MP! The incident may further erode the dwindling public trust in the AAP. As investigations continue, the spotlight remains firmly fixed on the AAP. Many wonder if the party’s lofty ideals were just empty rhetorics and ‘prachar’! Let’s wait and watch the unfolding drama!
