Swati Maliwal's ex-husband, Naveen Jaihind, claimed on Tuesday that the life of the former chief of the Delhi Commission for Women is under threat and added that AAP leader Sanjay Singh should stop doing drama in front of the cameras as he is "aware of everything". His statement comes amid the alleged assault incident of AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal at the residence of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Sanjay Singh stated in a press conference that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had taken cognizance of Maliwal's assault incident at the Chief Minister's residence and had directed strict action in the incident. "We are with Swati Maliwal," Singh said.

Naveen claimed that whatever happened with Swati was already planned and also urged her to speak for herself.

In a video message on X, Naveen Jaihind said, "I am Naveen Jaihind. Since yesterday, I have been getting a lot of calls from journalists regarding what happened with Swati Maliwal at the Delhi Chief Minister's residence. First, I want to say that I am divorced and have not been in contact with her for the last four years. Second, I want to tell you that whatever has happened with Swati was planned and now she has been threatened and anything can happen to her."

Naveen further  stated that the alleged assault on her happened at the "instructions of someone".

"The man who has assaulted Swati does not have the guts to even raise his voice but he did that on the instructions of someone. I was just listening to Sanjay Singh's press conference and wanted to tell him that he should stop acting, as he knows everything. Swati should stand up and speak for herself. What are you afraid of? Speak up, we are all with you. Her life is under threat," said Naveen Jaihind.

Delhi Police said on Monday that no complaint has been received in connection with the alleged assault against Swati Maliwal at the Chief Minister's residence.

"At around 9.34 am, we received a PCR call wherein the caller said that she had been assaulted inside the CM residence. Accordingly, local police responded to the call and SHO and the local police reached the spot. After some time, MP Swati Maliwal came to the police station, Civil Lines. She left the police station without giving any complaints. In this matter till now, no complaints have been received," DCP Manoj Kumar Meena said.

This comes nearly just ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in the National Capital and following the release of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal from jail. The Supreme Court has granted him interim bail till June 1.
