New Delhi : The ongoing row over the alleged assault of AAP MP Swati Maliwal at Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s residence, the party announced that a press conference will be organised to “bring out the reality” of the issue.
In a post on X, AAP minister Atishi said, “Will be doing a press conference today at 6 pm to bring out the reality of the Swati Maliwal issue.”
Meanwhile, the forensic unit of the Delhi Police reached the Chief Minister’s residence to collect evidence in connection with the alleged assault case of Swati Maliwal.
Earlier in the day, the AAP attacked Maliwal over a purported video clip from the CM’s residence that was supposedly taken on the day of the alleged assault.
The video posted by a news channel was shared by the party with a caption that read “Swati Maliwal ka sach (Swati Maliwal’s truth)”. It purportedly showed Maliwal having an argument with the security personnel at the CM’s residence.
This is the first time that the AAP has taken a stand against Maliwal in the case contradicting AAP MP Sanjay Singh’s statement that Arvind Kejriwal has taken cognizance of the incident and has directed “strict action”, adding that the party is “with Swati Maliwal.”
In reference to the same video clip, Swati Maliwal attacked an anonymous person dubbing him a “political hitman” and said he had started efforts to save himself. She also said that the ‘truth’ will be revealed once the CCTV footage of the house and the room is checked.
“Like every time, this time also this political hitman has started efforts to save himself. By getting his people to tweet and play videos without any context, he thinks he can save himself by committing this crime,” alleged Maliwal in a post on X.
“Who makes a video of someone being beaten up? The truth will be revealed to everyone as soon as the CCTV footage of the house and the room is checked. Fall to whatever level you can, God is watching everything. One day everyone’s truth will come out in front of the world,” she added.
The Delhi Police filed an FIR in the case based on the complaint of Swati Maliwal on Thursday and the FIR revealed shocking details.
