On Monday (13th May), the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal accused the former Personal secretary of Arvind Kejriwal of assaulting her.
While Kejriwal chose to remain silent, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav jumped in to defend the out-on-bail Delhi CM, saying there were other important issues to be discussed other than Swati Maliwal
Naveen Jaihind claimed that the AAP leader Sanjay Singh was doing acting and in the name of calling Swati Maliwal his sister and visiting her residence, he was threatening and intimidating her.
In a recent, rather controversial decision, the Supreme Court of India granted interim bail to Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, so that he could campaign
In a video message on X, former husband of Swati Maliwal said her life may be in danger and the attack against her at Kejriwal's residence was a part of a bigger conspiracy.
When Swati Maliwal was the DCW Chairperson, she had actively demanded prompt action on the complaints of the victims in cases of crime against girls/women and had visited the residence of the victim to extend her support.
