Swati Maliwal Criticizes Sunita Kejriwal After Bibhav Kumar and Vijay Nair’s Bail
Swati Maliwal, the former Chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women and a Member of Parliament, has criticized Sunita Kejriwal, the wife of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, for her social media post. This came after Bibhav Kumar and Vijay Nair were released from Tihar Jail on bail granted by the Supreme Court.
Maliwal accused Bibhav Kumar of assaulting her and expressed her disappointment over his release. She claimed that Sunita Kejriwal felt ‘very relieved’ after Kumar’s bail, which Maliwal found troubling. Sunita Kejriwal had posted a picture of Kumar and Nair with the caption ‘sukoon bhara din’ (a day of relief) on her social media handle.
Reacting to this, Maliwal posted on X, ‘The Chief Minister’s wife, who was at home when I was being beaten up, is feeling very relieved. Relieved because the man who beat me and misbehaved with me in his house has been released on bail. This is a clear message to everyone, beat up the women, after that, we will first get dirty trolling done, completely ruin the victim and hire an army of the country’s most expensive lawyers to save that man in the court! How can we expect respect for our sisters and daughters from those who find solace in seeing such people? God is watching everything, justice will be done.’
Bibhav Kumar, a close aide of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and Vijay Nair, the former communication head of AAP, were released from Tihar Jail after the Supreme Court granted them bail. The courts at Rouse Avenue and Tis Hazari issued their release warrants after accepting the bail and surety bonds. The Tis Hazari Court imposed additional conditions on Kumar, including keeping his mobile phone switched on at all times, joining the investigation whenever required, refraining from tampering with evidence, and avoiding influencing any witnesses.
Kumar was arrested by Delhi Police on May 18, 2024, for allegedly assaulting Swati Maliwal. A charge sheet has been filed against him, and the court has taken cognizance of it.
