In her complaint, Maliwal has alleged she was "slapped, hit on the stomach, and kicked" by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's PA, Bibhav Kumar.

New Delhi: Amid heated argument over Swati Maliwal assault case, the BJP Leaders in the national capital demanded Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation and demanded action in the incident. Shazia Ilmi, a Delhi BJP leader, disclosed her own experiences of enduring Kumar’s misconduct, sparking further controversy. Further, she asked for Kejriwal’s resignation from the CM post.

“Kejriwal should resign immediately. It is not right for him to maintain that chair. After getting a female colleague beaten up, he has no reason to be the CM. He should apologize and resign, and there should be immediate criminal action. No one should think that this has been done by Bibhav. All of this has been done by Arvind Kejriwal. Bibhav has done this misbehaviour on the orders of Arvind Kejriwal,” Ilmi alleged.

Delhi Police File FIR

In this regard, the Delhi police also filed an FIR in connection with the alleged assault on Thursday evening, naming the Delhi CM’s personal assistant, Bibhav Kumar.

The action was taken based on a formal complaint lodged by Swati Maliwal on Thursday. In her complaint, Maliwal has alleged she was “slapped, hit on the stomach, and kicked” by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s PA, Bibhav Kumar.

BJP Questions Kejriwal’s Silence 

Delhi BJP President, Virendra Sachdeva questioned Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s silence on the matter. “Finally, Swati Maliwal has broken her silence and she has informed the police about this in her complaint. The police have also registered an FIR against Bibhav Kumar under sections of IPC. I want to ask only one question, Arvind Kejriwal. When such an incident happened with Swati Maliwal at your residence and you were present in the house at that time, why did you allow a woman to be tortured? Why did you not try to stop it? Why are you silent on this?” Sachdeva said.
