New Delhi: Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal on Tuesday wrote a letter to INDIA bloc leaders, elaborating on the alleged assault by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's former aide Bibhav Kumar, and sought time to meet them.
She wrote the letter to leaders including former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, Nationalist Congress Party (SP) supremo Sharad Pawar, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav.
Maliwal, AAP Rajya Sabha MP, said she has been working on the ground for nine years and has heard over 1.7 lakh cases in Delhi Commission of Women. She further alleged that she was "beaten badly" at CM Kejriwal's and there was "character assassination" for speaking against the incident.
Taking to X, Maliwal wrote, "For the last 18 years, I have worked on the ground and in 9 years, have heard 1.7 lakh cases in the Women's Commission. Without fearing anyone and bowing before anyone, I took the Women's Commission to a very high position. But it is very sad that first I was beaten badly at the Chief Minister's house, then my character assassination was done."
"Today I have written a letter on this subject to senior leaders of the INDIA alliance. I have asked for time to meet them," she added.
Delhi's Tis Hazari court last week extended Bibhav Kumar's judicial custody till June 22.
Kumar was arrested on May 18 by Delhi Police. A case was registered by Delhi police after receiving a complaint from Maliwal on May 16. Bibhav Kumar has also filed a police complaint against Maliwal.
The incident of the alleged assault occurred on May 13 at Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's residence. (ANI)
