Swati Maliwal has opposed the bail request of Arvind Kejriwal's long-time aide Bibhav Kumar in the assault case
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Swati Maliwal, whose allegations of assault at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence have raised a political storm, told a Delhi court today that a bail relief for Mr Kejriwal's long-term aide and main accused Bibhav Kumar would put her and her family in danger.
Ms Maliwal made the remarks during a hearing on a bail petition by Bibhav Kumar. The counsel for Bibhav Kumar has questioned the Delhi Police's investigation into the case and said it is the AAP MP who should be probed for trespassing into the Chief Minister's residence.
A Rajya Sabha member and former chief of Delhi Commission for Women, Ms Maliwal has alleged that Bibhav Kumar assaulted her at the Chief Minister's residence on May 13. The AAP, which earlier said Mr Kejriwal aide's "misbehaved" with Ms Maliwal and will face action, later alleged she was a part of a BJP conspiracy against Mr Kejriwal.
