"What Happened To Me Was Very Bad": Swati Maliwal on Assault Row

Swati Maliwal expressed her dismay over the assault incident, stating, "What happened to me was very bad."

AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal stated on Thursday that she has provided her statement to the Delhi Police regarding the alleged assault on her at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's official residence on Monday. "What happened to me was very bad. I have given my statement to the police about the incident. I hope appropriate action will be taken. The last few days have been very difficult for me. I thank those who prayed for me. To those who attempted character assassination, may God keep them happy too," Ms. Maliwal, the former chairperson of Delhi Commission for Women (DCW), wrote in a post on X.

"An important election is underway in the country, Swati Maliwal is not important, the issues of the country are important. There is a special request for BJP people -- do not politicize this incident," she added.

Rekha Sharma, the chairperson of the National Commission for Women (NCW), also took to X on Thursday and said, "Well done @SwatiJaiHind. We must raise our voice against the perpetrators."

On Monday, DCP (North) Manoj Kumar Meena stated that a PCR call was received at 9:34 a.m. at the Civil Lines police station, wherein the caller claimed that she was assaulted at CM Kejriwal's official residence.

The PCR call record indicated that "the woman is saying that she is at the CM's house and has been assaulted by CM's PS Bibhav Kumar".
