Arvind Kejriwal’s aide, Bibhav Kumar, has filed a counter-complaint in the alleged assault case involving Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Swati Maliwal, accusing her of attempting to falsely implicate him. Kumar claims Maliwal “forcefully and unauthorisedly” entered the Delhi Chief Minister’s residence on May 13, causing a ruckus and assaulting him.
According to Kumar’s complaint, Maliwal verbally abused him, saying, “Tumhari himmat kaise hui ek MP ko rokne ki. Tumhari aukat kya hai. (How dare you stop an MP. What is your status)?” She allegedly threatened him further, stating, “Main tujhe dekh lungi… Main tujhe aise joothe case mein fasaungi ki tujhe zindagi bhar jail mei sadah dungi (I will implicate you in a false case so that you will be jailed for the rest of your life).”
