During the session, Kejriwal claimed that Kumar and other party leaders had been falsely implicated and imprisoned.Taking it to her X handle, Maliwal expressed her outrage, stating, “You have crossed all limits of shamelessness, Arvind Kejriwal. The goon who assaulted me in your presence was defended by an army of the countrys most expensive lawyers while he was in jail. After his release on bail, you are calling him the biggest leader of your party and claiming he was wrongfully jailed. The Supreme Court itself has questioned who keeps such goons in their residence.

He noted, “The BJP has jailed five of our significant leaders, but AAP remains unbroken. If two prominent BJP leaders were jailed, their party would disintegrate. They fabricated cases against me and put leaders like Manish Sisodia, Satyendra Jain, Sanjay Singh, and Bibhav Kumar behind bars. Yet, our party stands strong.”What is the case all aboutThe controversy stems from an FIR filed against Bibhav Kumar following Maliwals complaint, in which she alleged that he assaulted her during a visit to Kejriwals residence on May 13. Kumar was arrested on May 18 but has since been released on bail. Maliwal continues to voice her criticisms against the AAP in light of this incident.
