Delhi BJP Mahila Morcha president Richa Pandey Mishra wrote letter to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Swati Maliwal in alleged assault case that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's aide, Bibhav Kumar, had "misbehaved" with her.
"We humbly request you to give complete details of this incident to the Police so that stringent action can be taken against the accused. Judicial procedure is essential to ensure that such incidents do not recur," the letter reads.
On Thursday morning, as Kejriwal entered the venue for his press conference with Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav, reporters attempted to question him on the alleged assault on AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal. The AAP supremo, however, refused to answer any questions.
