Bibhav Kumar, aide and former personal secretary of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, was arrested on Saturday by Delhi Police following allegations of assault by AAP MP Swati Maliwal. Maliwal accused Kumar of slapping and kicking her at Kejriwal's residence on May 13, leading to injuries. Her complaint resulted in a police case, and her statement was recorded at Tis Hazari court. Bhaibav Kumar filed a counter-complaint, alleging Maliwal's unauthorized entry and intent to create chaos. Delhi minister Atishi accused the BJP of blackmailing Maliwal into participating in a conspiracy against Kejriwal, who recently secured interim bail in a separate case.
