Swati Maliwal Recounts May 13 Assault: ‘Kejriwal Was Present’

In an interview with news agency ANI, Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal detailed her ordeal from May 13, revealing that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was present when she was allegedly assaulted by his aide, Bibhav Kumar. This statement contradicts Kejriwal’s earlier claim that he was not at his residence during the alleged incident.

This marks the first time Maliwal has publicly narrated the incident, with previous details coming from her FIR against Bibhav. “I went to Kejriwal’s residence on May 13 around 9am. The staff made me sit in the drawing room and told me that Kejriwal would meet me there,” Maliwal recounted. “Bibhav then barged into the room. I told him that Arvind ji was coming to meet me and asked what the issue was. Before I could say more, he started beating me. He slapped me seven or eight times. When I tried to push him away, he grabbed my legs and pulled me to the floor, causing my head to bang against the center table. As I lay on the floor, he began kicking me. I screamed for help, but no one came.”

“It’s strange that no one came out to help me. I was screaming,” Maliwal added.

When asked if Bibhav was acting on instructions, Maliwal responded, “It is a matter of investigation whether he acted on his own or was instructed to do so. I am cooperating with the investigation.”

“I am not giving a clean chit to anyone. The fact is, I was being beaten up, and Arvind Kejriwal was there,” the MP emphasized.

In connection with the case, the Delhi Police was scheduled to record the statements of Kejriwal’s parents, who were also reportedly present during the assault. However, sources indicated that the police would not be recording their statements that day. Kejriwal posted on X, “I am waiting for the police with my parents and wife. Yesterday, the police called my parents and asked for time for interrogation. But they have not yet informed us whether they will come or not.”
