The Delhi-based party posted videos on its X account, alleging that these exposed the truth behind Maliwal’s allegations.
“This video exposes the truth behind Swati Maliwal’s allegations,” the post read, while the video’s voice-over accuses Maliwal of staging a drama.

“Swati Maliwal can be seen being taken out by the security staff of CM’s residence and neither she is limping nor any head injuries can be seen. Her clothes are also not torn which she claimed in her complaint. In the second video, which is of four days after the incident she can be seen staging a drama and she even started limping after the FIR got registered. A wheelchair is also brought for her. What kind of a game is this?” the voice-over in the videos says.

According to a medico-legal report from the Jay Prakash Narayan Trauma Centre at AIIMS, Maliwal had bruises over her left leg and her right cheek.
Maliwal had a bruise of the size of 3×2 centimetre over the ‘proximal left leg dorsal aspect’ and another bruise of the size of 2×2 centimetre over her right cheek below her right eye, according to the AIIMS report.
The videos released on Saturday are not the AAP‘s first move against Maliwal, with Delhi Minister Atishi claiming, earlier in the day, that the Rajya Sabha MP had filed the assault FIR against Bibhav Kumar at the behest of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
Atishi further alleged that the former Delhi Commission for Women chief was being used as a ‘pawn’ and was being made to ‘hatch this conspiracy’ using leverage.
“The way Enforcement Directorate, Central Bureau of Investigation, anti-corruption bureau, Income tax dept, Economic Offences Wing were used to blackmail opposition leaders and make them join BJP, similarly in Swati Maliwal case also same formula was used. There is a case against Swati Maliwal by the Anti-Corruption Bureau, FIR has been made and the probe is underway using this, Swati Maliwal was made to hatch this conspiracy and was used as a pawn,” Atishi told ANI.
The Delhi Minister also called for a probe into who Maliwal met, as the AAP continues to allege the BJP’s involvement in its troubles.
“There should be an unbiased probe on who was in contact with whom, Swati Maliwali met all BJP members and when what conversation they had on call and WhatsApp,” Atishi said.
Delhi CM Kejriwal’s aide, Bibhav Kumar filed a written complaint against Maliwal, alleging unauthorized entry, verbal abuse, threats, and the possibility of the BJP’s involvement in the matter.
Last month, the Vigilance Department terminated Bibhav Kumar’s services to Kejriwal over a pending criminal case.
