Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal along with leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will march to BJP headquarters in the national capital today following the arrest of his Bibhav Kumar, the chief minister’s aide, in connection with the alleged assault of AAP MP Swati Maliwal at the CM’s residence on May 13. Kejriwal also dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “send anyone he wants to jail”.

This comes after Kejriwal’s aide Bibhav Kumar was arrested by the Delhi Police on Saturday afternoon in connection with the alleged assault on Swati Maliwal at the chief minister’s residence. The AAP has alleged that Maliwal was ‘blackmailed’ by the BJP into joining a "conspiracy" against Kejriwal as she faces a corruption case.

- “First Bibhav beat me brutally. He slapped and kicked me. When I freed myself and called 112, he went outside, called security, and started making a video. I was screaming and telling the security that Bibhav had beaten me brutally. That entire long part of the video was edited. Only 50 seconds were released when I was fed up with explaining to the security guys… Now they formatted the phone and deleted the entire video? CCTV footage is also missing! Even conspiracy has its limits!" Swati Maliwal wrote in Hindi.
