Swati Maliwal Seeks Meeting with Arvind Kejriwal
This morning, Swati Maliwal went to the Chief Minister’s residence at around 9:10 AM to meet Arvind Kejriwal but was not allowed to meet him by his staff. Subsequently, at 9:31 AM, she contacted the police control room for help, and her call was redirected to the North control room at 9:34 AM.
According to information obtained by India Today TV, there were two calls made to the police from the Chief Minister’s residence. In the first call, the caller reported a fight between the Chief Minister and his aide, Bibhav Kumar.
After the second call, the police updated their records to reflect that a woman caller stated she was at the Chief Minister’s House, where he allegedly instructed his aide, Bibhav Kumar, to assault her.
Bibhav Kumar, who served as a personal assistant to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, was dismissed from his position last month. This followed his interrogation by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with charges of obstructing government work.

After questioning, Swati Maliwal left the police station, sources confirmed. No formal complaint has been made yet.
