Rajya Sabha MP for the AAP, Swati Maliwal, has accused the Delhi Chief Minister`s assistant Bibhav Kumar of assault. She has also threatened to initiate a lawsuit against Delhi ministries and AAP leaders for "spreading lies" about a "corruption FIR" that was filed against her.

Per an ANI report, Swati Maliwal took to social media platform X claiming that her status in the party changed from "Lady Singham" to "BJP agent" right after she filed a complaint against now-arrested Kumar. "According to them, I was `Lady Singham` until I filed a complaint against Bibhav Kumar and today I have become a BJP agent? "I will take you to court for every lie you spread!" Maliwal said in a post on Monday. She further added, "Since yesterday, Delhi ministers are spreading lies that an FIR has been filed against me for corruption and that I did all this on the instructions of BJP. This FIR was lodged 8 years ago in 2016 after which both the CM and LG appointed me as the Chairperson of the Women`s Commission twice more. The case is completely fake on which the Hon`ble High Court has stayed for 1.5 years, who have accepted that no money transaction has taken place."
