Swati Maliwal Breaks Down in Court During Bibhav Kumar’s Bail Hearing Over Assault Allegations

At Bibhav Kumar’s bail hearing for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s assistant, who was detained for allegedly assaulting Maliwal, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Swati Maliwal lost it on Monday in Delhi’s Tis Hazari court when the defense attorney was arguing. The AAP MP entered Kejriwal’s home without permission, according to senior attorney N Hariharan, who is representing Kumar in court. Bibhav Kumar wasn’t inside the CM’s residence at that time.

Would anyone be able to enter in this way?The chief minister resides here officially. Her arrival was not announced in any way, and she didn’t have a scheduled time for the encounter. At the moment, Kumar wasn’t around. When she was halted by security, she asked to speak with Kumar while sitting in the waiting area, according to the defense attorney. There was “no grievous injury” to the AAP MP, he added before the court.

“Examine the location of the purported incident, where a large crowd was present.In what way is this location—CM’s home—where such an incident can occur? The question of whether culpable homicide does not qualify as murder is not raised because there is no significant harm to the important portion. According to him, the wounds may have been self-inflicted. Maliwal’s accusations, according to the defense attorney, “do not make out a case of intention to disrobe her.” The AAP MP sobbed in court after making this claim. The accusations made by Maliwal, according to N Hariharan, were all “pre-planned” and “tailored” to “suit her story.”

“Afterthought led to the completion of this FIR.He told the judge, “I am merely asking for bail; I am not asking for an acquittal. After Maliwal accused Bibhav Kumar in a formal complaint of beating her on May 13 at Kejriwal’s house, Bibhav Kumar was taken into custody on May 18. Kumar repeatedly slapped her and kicked her in the stomach and pelvis, according to the FIR. Sections 354, 506, 509, and 323 of the IPC, which address offenses like assault or criminal force on a lady with intent to insult her modesty and criminal intimidation, are where the police filed a FIR against Kumar after receiving the complaint.

Later, Kejriwal’s assistant reported to the Delhi police that the AAP MP had mistreated him with the intention of assaulting him. After Kumar filed a bail request at the Delhi court on Saturday, the court requested an answer from the Delhi police regarding the situation.
