AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal sustained internal injuries in her face after being reportedly assaulted by an aide to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, as per reports. Maliwal spent more than three hours on Friday at AIIMS, Delhi, having a medical examination.

Meanwhile, the Delhi Police has stepped up its hunt for Bibhav Kumar, Kejriwal’s assistant, one day after filing a formal complaint in relation to the incident. After a Delhi Police squad recorded Maliwal’s statement at her home, a FIR was filed.

The former head of the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) said in her complaint that Bibhav Kumar had punched, kicked, slapped, and beat her with a stick.

Earlier, on Thursday evening, Swati Maliwal underwent a medical check-up for about four hours. Along with Maliwal, a Delhi Police squad arrived at AIIMS at 11 p.m. and left at 3:15 a.m. Maliwal was accompanied by Vandana Singh, a member of the Delhi Commission for Women. There was a CT scan and an X-ray.

Swati Maliwal has claimed in her lawsuit that she was repeatedly struck on sensitive body parts and subjected to physical assault.

Delhi Police has stepped up its investigation into the matter in the interim.A team of police reached Bibhav Kumar’s house, but he was not found.

Approximately ten police teams are looking into the matter; four of the units are tracking Bibhav’s whereabouts. According to sources, Bibhav might be in Amritsar. Additionally, since the INDIA bloc is planned to have a rally in Mahrashtra, police believe Bibhav may be there.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, May 16, attacked the opposition for allegedly trying to spark violence by disseminating false information over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). He continued by saying that citizenship under the CAA is now being granted by the country.

The prime minister claimed no one can do it, despite the INDI alliance members claims that they will remove CAA. Get real-time updates about the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

PM Modi said, on the CAA issue, political parties like Congress and Samajwadi Party propagate false information. They made every effort to ignite riots and burn the entire nation, including UP, the PM added. Members of this INDI alliance still maintain that Modi introduced the CAA and that it will be removed the day he leaves the office.

Challenging the opposition, PM said, Desh mein koi maai ka laal paida hua hai jo CAA hata sake? (has anyone been born in this country who has the ability to repeal the CAA?) No one is able to remove CAA, he said. Addressing the rally in Lalganj, Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh, PM Modi said, they tried to do votebank politics under the guise of fake secularism, and they made Hindus and Muslims fight against each other.

Under the CAA, the process of giving citizenship certificate to refugees has already begun, the PM added. These are the individuals who have long been residents of the county as refugees and who suffered from the country’s religiously motivated division, PM Modi continued.

Additionally, PM Modi alleged that the Congress was ignoring these refugees.

Under the mask of CAA, the Congress and the SP attempted to spread misinformation. They tried to create disturbances in Uttar Pradesh and all across the country, he claimed.

PM Modi added that the enthusiasm displayed by Srinagar voters during the polls is evidence that nobody can reinstate Article 370 and engage in vote-bank politics.

Congress and Samajwadi Party wanted to split the national budget and give 15% to minorities, PM Modi said.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal refused to comment about AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal’s assault case during a joint press conference with Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow today. On Monday, May 13, Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal allegedly suffered an assault by Kejriwal’s personal secretary Bibhav Kumar.

Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, who was attending the press conference along with AAP leader Sanjay Singh and Kejriwal, said there are other issues that are more important than this.

Kejriwal, who was seated between Akhilesh Yadav and Sanjay Singh, continued to avoid questions on the assault case. Sanjay Singh then asked about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence on several topics, including the ethnic violence in Manipur.

When asked about the Swati Maliwal situation, AAP MP Sanjay Singh took a defensive posture throughout the press conference. He said that he had already given the required reaction to the issue and emphasized that the situation should not be used for political advantage.

Singh restated that the AAP operates as a unified entity. During the summit, he also expressed worries on the situation in Manipur.

The AAP MP said, after witnessing what occurred in Manipur, the entire nation was in pain, yet PM Modi remained silent on the matter. Thousands of women were raped by Prajwal Revanna, while PM Modi was pleading for Prajwal Revanna’s support. The officials physically assaulted DCW chief Swati Maliwal during our wrestlers’ protest at Jantar Mantar. PM Modi said nothing about these problems. Our family, AAP, has made a very clear statement. All these points he raised should have answers from the BJP and PM Modi. On Swati Maliwal’s issue, politics should not be engaged, Sanjay Singh added.

Meanwhile, days after the party threatened to take strict action against him, Bibhav Kumar was seen earlier on Wednesday night at the Lucknow airport with Sanjay Singh and the AAP national convener.
