Controversy over Swati Maliwal’s allegations against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s aide – Bibhav Kumar – escalated sharply Friday afternoon after a police team, accompanied by forensic analysts, visited the Aam Aadmi Party leader’s residence, where the alleged assault took place.
In addition to collecting CCTV footage from the living room – where Ms Maliwal has claimed she was slapped seven times and kicked in the chest – the police are expected to record witness statements and speak to members of Arvind Kejriwal’s security staff, including those seen arguing with the AAP leader in blurry mobile phone footage of the stand-off that was leaked online this morning.
