AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal on Sunday said her party colleagues once sought justice for Nirbhaya but today they are supporting a person accused of assaulting her.
Maliwal has alleged that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s aide Bibhav Kumar assaulted her on May 13 at the residence of the CM.
Sharing a screenshot of a news report, Maliwal wrote on X, “There was a time when “we all used to come out on the streets to get justice for Nirbhaya”.
“Today, 12 years later, we have come out on the streets to save the accused (Bibhav Kumar) who made the CCTV footage disappear and formatted the phone? I wish they had used this much force for Manish Sisodia ji. Had he been here, maybe things wouldn’t have been so bad for me!” she wrote.
The AAP has alleged that the accusations by Maliwal, who has been associated with AAP for over 10 years, are a part of BJP’s “conspiracy”.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police have arrested Kumar on Saturday from the CM’s residence.
The AAP has announced a protest led by Kejriwal against the arrest of its leaders at the BJP headquarters at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg in Delhi.
“They are after our party and sending our leaders in jail one after another… Today you have sent my PA (Bibhav Kumar) to jail,” he said, adding the BJP is saying they will send AAP MP Raghav Chadha and Delhi ministers Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj to jail too.
