Swati Maliwal Case: Delhi Cops Won't Question CM's 'Old, Sick' Parents Today; AAP Leaders in Huddle at Kejriwal's Home
Swati Maliwal-Arvind Kejriwal News: The age of Delhi CM's father is 84; he can't even hear properly. His mother is 76 years old and came home after an operation on the day Kejriwal was arrested, said Sanjay Singh.

Swati Maliwal-Arvind Kejriwal Row Updates: Seniors leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) were seen arriving at Arvind Kejriwal’s house on Thursday, May 23, amid reports that Delhi police will record statements to Delhi CM’s parents in Swati Maliwal ‘assault’ case. Gopal Rai, Atishi, Sanjay Singh and Saurabh Bharadwaj were among the first ones to reach.

Sources, however, told News18 that the officers will not reach Kejriwal’s home on Thursday to record the statements of his parents and wife. “This is procedural investigation and can also be done at a later stage,” a source added.

The Delhi CM had on Wednesday written on X: “Tomorrow Delhi Police will come to interrogate my old and sick parents.”

“The ruling party has stooped to such a level that after arresting AAP MLAs and CM, they are not harassing the old and ailing parents of Arvind Kejriwal. His father’s age is 84; he can’t even hear properly. Chief minister’s mother is 76 years old and came home after an operation on the day Kejriwal was arrested. He was not even able to meet his mother,” Sanjay Singh said on Thursday.

AAP MP Maliwal has alleged that she was “assaulted” by Kejriwal’s personal assistant Bibhav Kumar when she went to meet the chief minister on May 13. The police have registered a case and arrested Kumar.
