Swati Maliwal Alleges CCTV Tampering at CM’s Residence
New Delhi: In another development in Swati Maliwal assault case, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP has alleged that the closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras installed at Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s residence were being tampered with.
Taking to the microblogging site X on Friday evening, Swati Maliwal, the former chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) said, “I have received information that now these people are tampering with the CCTV of the house.” Ms Maliwal also tagged Delhi Police in her post.
Earlier, a team of Delhi Police, led by Additional DCP Delhi North, Civil Lines Police Station SHO, and a team of forensic officials, arrived at the Chief Minister’s residence on Friday evening for scene recreation. Ms Maliwal was also called there as part of the investigation into the alleged assault on her.
The team departed from the Chief Minister’s residence at around 2.15 am on Saturday after investigation and videography of the premises.
This comes after Mr Kejriwal’s aide, Bibhav Kumar filed a written complaint against Ms Maliwal, alleging unauthorized entry, verbal abuse, threats, and the possibility of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) involvement in the matter. Notably, the Vigilance Department had last month terminated the service of Bibhav Kumar, personal assistant (PA) to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, over a pending criminal case.
