In a recent development, a court in New Delhi has granted the Delhi Police three days to interrogate Bibhav Kumar, an aide to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. This comes after Kumar was accused of assaulting Swati Maliwal, a member of the Aam Aadmi Party's Rajya Sabha. The alleged incident took place on May 13 at the official residence of the Chief Minister.
Metropolitan Magistrate Gaurav Goyal has ordered Kumar to be in police custody until May 31, and the court is expected to release a detailed order soon. The Delhi Police had requested five days of custody for the accused, but Kumar's lawyer objected, claiming that there was no evidence against him. However, the court dismissed Kumar's bail plea on Monday, stating that there was no pre-meditation on Maliwal's part in filing the FIR and that her allegations could not be easily dismissed.
Kumar was arrested on May 18 and was initially sent to police custody for five days. However, due to his arrest, his anticipatory bail plea became irrelevant, and he was subsequently sent to four days of judicial custody. The FIR against Kumar was filed on May 16 under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including criminal intimidation, assault, and attempt to commit culpable homicide.
The court's decision to grant police custody to Kumar has caused quite a stir, with many questioning the evidence and motive behind the allegations against him. It remains to be seen how the case will unfold and what further actions will be taken by the authorities. The incident has also sparked a debate on the safety and security of women in the country, and many are hoping for a fair and just resolution to the matter.
