What Maliwal told the court:

Maliwal has also told the court that she has been repeatedly called a BJP agent since she reported the alleged assault.

"They (AAP) have an army of trolls. The entire party machinery has been deployed. Continuous press conferences were held against me. Thi﷽s man (Bibhav Kumar) is not normal,🐠" she said reportedly.

Without mentioning the name of YouTuber Dhruv⛎ Rathee, Maliwal told the court that "a YouTuber, who was earlier a volunteer, made a one-sided video. After the video, I started getting death and rape threats continuously".

Earlier, Maliwal had called out the YouTuber for posting the video and sa🅺id in a tweet, ""After the leဣaders and volunteers of my party i.e. AAP orchestrated a campaign of character assassination, victim shaming and fanning of emotions against me, I have been getting rape and death threats. This got further exacerbated when YouTuber Dhruv Rathee posted a one-sided video against me."

While presenting his arguments, Maliwal's lawyer said Kumar was notᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ cooperating in the investigation and evading questions asked by the police.

"If Swati Maliwal had trespassed, as per Bibhav Kumar's lawyer, then why has there been no complaint in thiౠs regard? Her medical examination was done three-four days later, but that does not mean that it has no meaning. It still matters," he said.

Meanwhile, the Delhi Police counsel said, "How was it trespassing when she was asked to wait t🌠here (Chief Minister'✨s residence). She wasn’t the trespasser, Bibhav was the trespasser."

Maliwal alleged assault case:

A massive political controversy brokꦚe out in Delhi two weeks ago when Maliwal alleged Kejriwal's aide Kumar hit her with "full force൩ again and again" and she was "kicked and slapped seven-to-eight times" at the Chief Minister's residence.

In respo💟nse, Kejriwal has said justice will be served with a fair investigation💞 into the assault case as there are two versions of it.
