New Delhi: AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal medical reports Medico-legal case report confirms that Swati Maliwal has internal injuries on her face. Sources
She said she was physically assaulted and hit multiple times on sensitive body parts.
Delhi Police officials and the forensic team, have arrived at the residence of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as part of an investigation into the alleged assault on AAP MP Swati Maliwal.
She underwent a medical check-up for about four hours yesterday night in AIIMS delhi.
Late on Thursday, the Delhi Police lodged an FIR in connection with the alleged assault and took her to AIIMS for a medical check-up.
According to sources, Maliwal in her complaint had alleged that while she was waiting in the drawing room at the Chief Minister’s residence, his Private Secretary Bibhav Kumar came and without any provocation, slapped her and also delivered punches to her abdomen.
“I entered the drawing room and was waiting there. Bibhav arrived and began to verbally abuse me. Without any provocation, he repeatedly slapped me… I yelled, pleading for him to stop and let me go, but he persisted in assaulting me while hurling insults in Hindi,” the AAP MP said in the statement recorded by the Delhi Police’s Special Cell.
“He issued threats, saying things like ‘dekh lenge, nipta denge’. He struck me on the chest, face, stomach, and lower part of my body. I informed him that I was menstruating and in considerable pain, begging him to leave me alone. Eventually, I managed to escape and ran out of the room, calling the police for help,” sources quoted Maliwal as saying in the statement.
The FIR has been lodged under Sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 506 (criminal intimidation), and 509 (insulting the modesty of a woman) of the IPC.
On Monday, DCP (North) Manoj Kumar Meena said that a PCR call was received at 9:34 a.m. at the Civil Lines police station, in which the caller claimed that she was assaulted by Chief Minister’s PS Bibhav Kumar at CM Kejriwal’s official residence.
Police Tracing The Location To Arrest Bhibhav
Special Cell and Crime Branch teams have been deployed to arrest the accused. His location is being traced, and several teams of the Delhi Police are working on it.
Earlier in the day, the National Commission for Women (NCW) summoned Bibhav Kumar to appear on May 17 in connection with the alleged assault.
The BJP accused the AAP of failing to act against Bibhav Kumar, the Personal Assistant to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, who was allegedly behind the assault on Maliwal.
Sharing a picture of Bibhav with Arvind Kejriwal at the Lucknow airport, the BJP questioned the AAP for not acting against him despite an assurance from party MP Sanjay Singh.
