New Delhi:
Delhi Police
on Friday received an email purportedly from
Bibhav Kumar
, who is accused of assaulting
AAP MP Swati Maliwal
, in which he alleged a frame-up. "We will look into the complaint once we catch hold of Kumar and confirm if he was the one who sent the mail," said a senior police officer.
In the email, the sender, who identified himself as Kumar, claimed that he was threatened and assaulted by Maliwal on Monday.
The mail alleged that Maliwal had arrived at the CM's residence without an appointment or a meeting being scheduled. When stopped, Maliwal insisted on entering the premises, insisting she had an appointment.
The mail sender maintained that Maliwal forced her way into the CM's residence. "The security staff asked her to wait in the waiting area, after which she started abusing the office staff. Despite strong objections, she stormed into the main building," the mail says, adding that Kumar learnt of this and arrived to tell her that she didn't have an appointment, in reply to which she said, "How dare you stop a member of Parliament? What do you think your status is?"
The mail claims that Kumar didn't react to her abuses but politely requested her to leave. "She told me, 'I will see you. I will entangle you in such a false case that you will forever rot in jail', " the sender said, adding that she also threatened the security staff. The mail asked police to probe Maliwal's connection with BJP, suspecting that the incident happened at that party's behest.
