The reported incident involving Swati Maliwal at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence has sparked attention and raised questions about the events that transpired.
According to police sources, Maliwal allegedly made two successive calls to emergency services, claiming to have been assaulted at the Chief Minister's residence. The calls, originating from the Civil Lines residence, prompted a response from the Delhi Police.
Upon arrival at the Chief Minister's residence, police were unable to enter without prior permission due to protocol. However, Maliwal was brought to the police station for questioning. Reports indicate that she later left the station without filing a written complaint.
Details of the alleged incident suggest that Maliwal sought a meeting with Arvind Kejriwal but was denied by his personal staff. Subsequently, she contacted the police control room, alleging assault by Kejriwal's aide, Bibhav Kumar.
The situation has garnered attention from political circles, with reactions surfacing from various quarters. Amit Malviya, BJP IT Cell in-charge, referenced Maliwal's past actions and absence during Kejriwal's arrest in a social media post.
Swati Maliwal, a former chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women and currently a Rajya Sabha MP nominated by the Aam Aadmi Party, has not yet provided a statement regarding the incident.
As investigations continue and further details emerge, the incident underscores the importance of addressing allegations of assault seriously and transparently, ensuring due process is followed to determine the facts surrounding the matter.
