\"AAP<\/div>\n
The Aam Aadmi Party<\/a> (AAP<\/a>) has acknowledged the reported assault on its Rajya Sabha MP<\/a> Swati Maliwal by Delhi Chief Minister<\/a> Arvind Kejriwal<\/a>‘s personal assistant<\/a> Bibhav Kumar. The party stated that Delhi CM has taken cognizance of the incident, ensuring appropriate action will follow.<\/p>\n

The incident, which occurred at Arvind Kejriwal<\/a>‘s residence, saw two complaints filed with the Delhi Police<\/a> concerning an alleged assault<\/a> on AAP MP Swati Maliwal. The accused, Bibhav Kumar, reportedly obstructed Maliwal from meeting Kejriwal, particularly during the chief minister\u2019s engagement in the excise police case. Maliwal visited the Civil Lines Police Station<\/a> but refrained from filing a formal complaint.<\/p>\n

Who is Bibhav Kumar, known as “Kejriwal\u2019s Man Friday”?
<\/strong>Bibhav Kumar, a former video journalist, has been associated with AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal since the early 2000s. He initially worked as a video editor for a magazine associated with India Against Corruption<\/a>, which later transformed into AAP. Over the years, Kumar has become an integral part of Kejriwal’s inner circle, assisting him with daily tasks and serving as a trusted aide.<\/p>\n

Reports suggest that Kumar not only provided support to Kejriwal but also acted as his confidant, ensuring adherence to medication schedules and dietary requirements, especially considering Kejriwal’s diabetic condition. Notably, during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections in Punjab, Kumar played a crucial role in managing Kejriwal’s health, ensuring timely meals and medication administration.<\/p>\n

Kumar’s role in Kejriwal’s life earned him the nickname “Kejriwal\u2019s Man Friday.” However, his tenure as Delhi CM Kejriwal\u2019s personal secretary was marred by controversies<\/a>. He faced dismissal by the Delhi Vigilance Department due to an “illegal appointment,” stemming from a 2007 case accusing him of obstructing a public servant from performing duties.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Kumar faced scrutiny from the Enforcement Directorate<\/a> earlier this year regarding allegations related to the Delhi excise policy case. Last year, the vigilance department ordered the cancellation of a bungalow allotment to Kumar by the Public Works Department (PWD).The latest incident involving Kumar’s alleged involvement in the assault on AAP MP Swati Maliwal<\/a> adds to the series of controversies surrounding him.<\/div>\n
