The Rajya Sabha MP said that her status in the party changed from "Lady Singham" to "BJP agent" as she filed a complaint against now arrested Bibhav Kumar, the aide who allegedly assaulted her within the premises of the Chief Minister's residence.

AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal, who was allegedly assaulted by Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s aide Bibhav Kumar, Monday lashed out at Delhi ministers and AAP leaders for “spreading lies” about a “corruption FIR” against her.

In a post on X, she claimed that her status in the party changed from “Lady Singham” to “BJP agent” as 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?”

She further alleged that the “entire troll army” are rallying against her in attempts to silence her over her assault allegations.

Referring to an FIR against her, she wrote, “Since yesterday, Delhi ministers are spreading lies that an FIR has been filed against me for corruption, hence I did all this on the instructions of BJP. This FIR was lodged 8 years ago in 2016 after which the CM and LG appointed me as the Chairperson of the Women’s Commission for two more times. The case is completely fake, on which the Hon’ble High Court put a stay for 1.5 years…”

Maliwal also claimed that her own and her family’s safety was on the verge of being compromised by the “troll army”. Her post reads, “They’re putting my relatives’ lives in danger by tweeting their details using their car numbers.”

AAP leader and Delhi minister Atishi had said on Saturday that the BJP was using Maliwal as a “pawn during the elections”. “She was in touch with BJP leaders. If Delhi Police conducts an impartial investigation in this case, everything will become clear,” Atishi said.
