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."
