In a shocking turn of events, post Kejriwal’s release on interim bail, AAP MP alleges being attacked at the Delhi CM’s house. Early this morning around 10 am, Swati Maliwal made two calls to the Police Control Room complaining about the assault by Kejriwal’s PA.
However, no official complaint has been registered at the police station yet.
DCP (North) Manoj Meena told the news agency ANI, “One PCR call at 9:34 AM has been received at PS Civil Lines from a lady saying she has been assaulted at CM House. After some time, MP Madam came to PS Civil Lines, however, she left stating she will give a complaint later.”
Citing AAP sources, the Indian Express reported that Swati had gone to the CM House at around 9 am on Monday to meet Kejriwal. “She was asked to wait. After some time, an altercation ensued and she called the PCR,” said a party leader.
AAP has not released any official statement on the matter, so far.

Who is Swati Maliwal ?
Swati Maliwal, raised by a single mother has been serving the nation as a social activist. Her journey into the field began with joining Parivartan, an NGO run by Arvind Kejriwal. Following her robust activism, she was appointed the Chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women in July 2015, the youngest person ever appointed.
Her tenure as a DCW Chairperson is marked by significant contributions in empowering women. She is credited for starting flagship programs like 181 Women’s Helpline, Mahila Panchayat, Special Task Force on Women’s safety in delhi, Crisis Intervention Centre and Rape Crisis Cell. January 2024, marked the end of eight year long service when she joined AAP as a Member of Rajya Sabha.
Bibhav Kumar – Kejriwal’s PA and the accused
The alleged accused in the Swati Maliwal case, Bibhav Kumar aka Arvind Kejriwal’s secretary is once again grabbing headlines. Of late he has been under ED scrutiny in a probe against Kejriwal’s excise policy linked money laundering case.
In February, ED conducted raids at 12 locations, including those connected to Bibhav Kumar. Last month, the probe agency called over and questioned Kumar in connection with the case.
Recently, the Directorate of Vigilance has terminated his services as Kejriwal’s secretary over a 2007 pending case against Kumar, wherein he was accused of obstructing government work with grave charges of assault and criminal force to deter a public servant from the discharge of his duty.
Later, he reportedly filed an OA before the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) challenging the termination order. But the OA denied the plea stating that granting such relief would be premature.
