New Delhi: Swati Maliwal, Rajya Sabha MP of AAP while recounting her ordeal of May 13, said that she was assaulted by Bibhav Kumar, personal aide of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Maliwal added that she was not giving clean chit to anyone.

In an exclusive interview with News agency ANI, AAP Rajya Sabha MP recounted the entire incident of May 13 at Arvind Kejriwal’s residence.

Telling what happened with her that day Maliwal said, “On May 13 at around 9 am in the morning, I went to meet Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at his residence. The staff asked me to sit in the drawing room and told her that Arvind Kejriwal ji was at home and he was coming here to meet me. After that the PA of Arvind Kejriwal ji Bibhav Kumar came in a state of aggression and I asked ‘Kya Hua Kejriwalji aa rahe hai. Kya hogya?’ I said this much, after which he slapped me. He (Bibhav Kumar) slapped me 7 to 8 times.”

She further added, “When I tried to push him, he held my legs and mujhe ghaseet diya. Ensuring that my head bumped into the center table. I fell to the floor and he (Bibhav) started beating me with his legs. I was screaming and begging for help but no one came there.”

She further said that she is not aware whether she was beaten on the instructions of anyone or by himself or of his own accord and that this is all a matter of investigation.

“Everything is a matter of investigation. I am very cooperative with the Delhi Police. I am not giving anyone the clean chit. Because the fact is I was in the drawing room and Arvind Kejriwal was at home and I was beaten up very badly. I was literally screaming very badly but no one came to help to out. I never thought what will happen to me and my career. What will they do with me? I just thought that ‘Jo cheez maine saari mahilao ko bola hai ki hamesha sach ke saath khade raho, aap sachi sachi complain karo and jo bhi aapke sath kuch galat hua hai toh uske liye jarur lado, toh aaj mai kaise nhi ladh sakti,’ she said with tears in her eyes.
