Delhi BJP Mahila Morcha members staged a protest near Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence on Friday, May 17,2024, morning over the alleged assault on AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal by his aide Bibhav Kumar.
Led by BJP’s Mahila Morcha president Richa Pandey Mishra, the protesters, who were carrying bangles, demanded Mr. Kejriwal’s resignation.
Ms. Mishra said the Mahila Morcha wanted to hand over the bangles to Kejriwal for keeping mum over the incident with Maliwal that occurred at his official residence.
The Delhi Police on May 16 registered an FIR in connection with Maliwal's alleged assault, naming Kumar, the personal assistant of Mr. Kejriwal, as an accused.
The FIR was registered after Ms. Maliwal's statement was recorded by a two-member team led by Additional Commissioner of Police P.S. Kushwaha. The team was at Ms. Maliwal's residence in central Delhi for nearly four and a half hours on Thursday.
Kumar has been summoned by the National Commission for Women (NCW) on Friday, May 17 over the matter.
