In a recent court case in New Delhi, Aam Aadmi Party member Swati Maliwal appeared before the Tis Hazari court to give her statement regarding an alleged assault on her at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's official residence. The statement was recorded by Metropolitan Magistrate Katyayini Sharma Kandwal in her chambers, as per the provisions of section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code which allows a judicial magistrate to record statements during an investigation.
Following this, the Delhi Police registered an FIR against the accused under several sections of the Indian Penal Code. Maliwal also underwent a medical examination at AIIMS after the incident. The former Chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women had filed a complaint stating that while she was waiting in the drawing room at the CM's residence, his Private Secretary Bibhav Kumar had assaulted her without any provocation, slapping her and punching her in the abdomen.
DCP Manoj Kumar Meena confirmed that a PCR call was received at 9:34 am at the Civil Lines police station, with the caller claiming to have been assaulted by Chief Minister Kejriwal's PS Bibhav Kumar at the official residence. This incident has caused quite a stir, with Maliwal's statement and the subsequent FIR raising questions about the safety and security of public figures in the country's capital.
It remains to be seen how the case will unfold and what the consequences will be for those involved. In the meantime, it is important to ensure that such incidents are thoroughly investigated and justice is served. It is also crucial to address the issue of safety for individuals in positions of power, as they too are vulnerable to such attacks. This is a matter that requires attention and action from all concerned parties.
