Digital Desk: The Delhi Police lodged an FIR against Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's personal secretary, revealing some shocking information regarding the alleged attack on AAP MP and former DCW Chief Swati Maliwal. 

Sources claim that Swati Maliwal was threatened with serious consequences, slapped repeatedly, and "kicked on the chest, stomach, and pelvis area" according to the FIR lodged at the Civil Lines police station. 

In connection to this, Kumar has been booked under IPC sections 354 (assault or use of criminal force on women with intent to disrobe), 506 (criminal intimidation), 509 (word, gesture, or act intended to offend the modesty of a woman), and 323 (voluntarily causing pain).

According to the FIR, on May 13, Maliwal called and messaged Kumar when she went to Kejriwal's camp office at his Civil Lines home, but she was unable to get in touch with him. According to the report, Kumar "suddenly barged in, screamed at her without provocation, and abused her" before allegedly beating her while she was waiting for the CM in the drawing room.

The FIR read, "I went inside the camp office and called CM's PS Bibhav Kumar but I could not go in. I then sent a message to his mobile number (through WhatsApp). However, there was no response. I then went inside the residential area through the main door as I have always done in the past year since Bibhav Kumar was not present I entered the residence area and informed the staff present there to tell the CM here to meet him.”

It further read, “One of the staff members came and told me that CM was coming to meet me and suddenly, the PS of CM, Bibhav Kumar barged into the room. He started screaming without any provocation and even started abusing me. I was stunned by this…and I reacted by telling him to stop talking to me like this and to call the CM.”

Maliwal further said that when she called the police PCR number, 112, Kumar threatened her with dire consequences. He left the room before coming back with security personnel, who “asked me to leave the premises” at his behest.

The FIR states, “He (Kumar) pounced on me… brutally dragged and deliberately pulled my shirt up… I hit my head on the centre table… he kicked me on my chest, stomach, and pelvis area… I told him that I was on my periods but he continued to attack me with full force again and again.”

It should be noted that Bibhav Kumar, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's personal secretary, was called before the National Commission for Women (NCW) today. 

But the NCW went on platform "X" and said that they tried to serve Bibhav Kumar a notice of hearing along with the ACP of Civil Lines. The warning was posted on his home's gate by the officers, but the residents declined to accept it. 

The NCW tweet read, "Officers of the NCW, along with the ACP of Civil Lines, New Delhi, attempted to serve a Notice of Hearing to Bibhav Kumar at his residence. When the occupants of the house refused to accept the notice, the officers affixed it on the gate of his residence. The hearing is scheduled for 18th May at the NCW Office."
