Delhi Police Investigates Assault Case: Kejriwal’s Role Unveiled

The Delhi Police are delving into a potential conspiracy surrounding the assault case of Swati Maliwal, according to a chargesheet accessed by India Today. This chargesheet unveils significant details, including the presence of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal immediately following the assault on AAP MP Swati Maliwal.

Key Details from the Chargesheet

The chargesheet reveals that Arvind Kejriwal, along with his close aide Bibhav Kumar, was present at the Chief Minister’s residence immediately after the assault on Maliwal. This proximity to the accused raises questions about a potential coordinated effort to cover up the incident.

Investigation into Possible Conspiracy

Delhi Police are investigating whether the presence of Kejriwal and the subsequent actions of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders suggest a larger conspiracy. The police have highlighted that after the assault, AAP leaders Atishi and Sanjay Singh altered their statements significantly.

On May 14, a day after the assault, Sanjay Singh publicly condemned Bibhav Kumar’s actions and promised strict measures. However, just three days later, Atishi dismissed Maliwal’s allegations at a press conference. This abrupt change in stance within a short period has prompted the police to explore whether these contradictory statements were part of a coordinated effort.

Swati Maliwal’s Allegations

In a supplementary statement, Swati Maliwal expressed her belief in a larger conspiracy. She pointed to the unified support for Bibhav Kumar by AAP leaders and workers as an indication of an orchestrated effort to undermine her. Maliwal’s statement reflects her concerns that the party’s backing of Kumar could be part of a broader scheme.

Eyewitness Accounts

Eyewitness accounts detailed in the chargesheet paint a distressing picture of the assault. Maliwal reportedly endured severe physical abuse from Bibhav Kumar, including multiple slaps, being dragged across the room, and repeated kicks. An auto driver, who witnessed the aftermath, described Maliwal as visibly distressed and crying, recounting her ordeal over the phone.

The investigation continues as Delhi Police seek to unravel the full extent of the conspiracy, if any, behind this disturbing incident. The chargesheet and ongoing probe highlight the gravity of the situation and the potential involvement of high-profile figures.
