What was the whole matter?
The case began on May 13, with Swati accusing Kumar of assaulting and misbehaving with her. She said that on the morning of May 13, she went to Arvind Kejriwal’s house to meet him, after which she was made to wait in the lobby of CM House. She further said that while she was waiting, Kejriwal’s personal secretary approached her and started assaulting her, not only that she alleged that Kumar had also misbehaved with her. Following these allegations by Swati, an FIR was registered against Kumar and he was arrested.
After Swati’s allegations, Kumar also filed a complaint against Swati. He said that Swati forced his way into the CM house, adding that when Swati was thus denied entry into the house and told to wait in the lobby, he started pushing.
