Kumar is currently in a five-day police custody in connection with the alleged assault on Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal at the Delhi CM's residence. On Tuesday, Kumar was taken to Mumbai for the discovery of data from his phone which he formatted before arrest. The police believe that Kumar may have transferred data to some other person or device in Mumbai. Kumar's phones and laptop, and CCTV recordings from Kejriwal's house have been sent for forensic examination, an officer said.
The officer also said as the police custody of Kumar is ending on Thursday, investigators are trying to collect the evidences related to the case. Meanwhile, Maliwal in a post on X alleged that there is a "lot of pressure" on everyone in the party to malign her.
"Yesterday I got a call from a big leader of the party. They told me how there is a lot of pressure on everyone, they have to say bad things against Swati, they have to break her by leaking her personal photos. It is being said that anyone who supports her will be expelled from the party."
She added, "Someone has got the duty of doing press conference and someone has got the duty of tweeting. It is someone's duty to call the volunteers sitting in America and get something out against me."
