AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal, who has charged assault allegations against Delhi Chief Minister''s aide Bibhav Kumar lashed out at Delhi ministers and AAP leaders for "spreading lies" about "corruption FIR" against her and threatened to file a lawsuit against them.
In a post on X, Swati Maliwal claimed that her status in the party changed from "Lady Singham" to "BJP agent" right after she filed a complaint against now-arrested Kumar. "According to them, I was ''Lady Singham'' until I filed a complaint against Bibhav Kumar and today I have become a BJP agent? "I will take you to court for every lie you spread!" Maliwal said in a post on Monday. She further said, "Since yesterday, Delhi ministers are spreading lies that an FIR has been filed against me for corruption and that I did all this on the instructions of BJP. This FIR was lodged 8 years ago in 2016 after which both the CM and LG appointed me as the Chairperson of the Women''s Commission twice more. The case is completely fake on which the Hon''ble High Court has stayed for 1.5 years, who have accepted that no money transaction has taken place." "According to them, until I filed a complaint against Bibhav Kumar, I was "Lady Singham" and today I have become a BJP agent? The entire troll army was deployed against me just because I spoke the truth. Everyone in the party is being called and told to send Swati''s personal video if they have one, as it has to be leaked," she wrote in her post. "They''re putting my relatives'' lives in danger by tweeting their details using their car numbers. Well, lies don''t last long. But in the intoxication of power and in the passion to bring someone down, lest it happens that when the truth comes out, you are not able to look even your family in the eye. I will take you to court for every lie you spread!" she added. The case pertains to the alleged assault case, in which Swati Maliwal has accused Kejriwal''s former personal aide, Bibhav Kumar of assaulting her at the Chief Minister''s residence. Earlier on Monday, Delhi Police took Bibhav Kumar to the CM''s residence and recreated the crime scene at the spot, according to sources. Kejriwal''s former PA was arrested on Saturday in connection with the case. He was produced before the Tis Hazari Court, which remanded him to police custody for five days. Maliwal, in her complaint, alleged that Bibhav "slapped" her "at least seven to eight times" while she "continued screaming" and "brutally dragged" her while "kicking" her in her "chest, stomach and pelvis area." After his arrest, Bibhav was produced before Delhi''s Tis Hazari Court, which remanded her in police custody for five days. Bibhav lodged a counter-complaint with the police on Friday, accusing Maliwal of gaining ''unauthorised entry'' into the CM''s Civil Lines residence and ''verbally abusing'' him. Meanwhile, all seven seats of Delhi will go for polling on May 25. The counting of votes is scheduled for June 4. BJP has been winning all seven seats in Delhi for the last two elections. This time, AAP and Congress are under a seat-sharing agreement with the former and latter contesting on four and three seats each. (ANI)
