She tweeted in Hindi, “पहले मुझे बेरहमी से Bibhav ने पीटा। थप्पड़ और लातें मारी। जब मैंने ख़ुद को छुड़ा के 112 कॉल करी, तो बाहर जाके सिक्योरिटी बुलायी और वीडियो बनाने लगा। मैं सिक्योरिटी को चीख चीख के बता रही थी की मुझे बहुत बेरहमी से Bibhav ने पीटा है। वो पूरा लंबा हिस्सा वीडियो का edit कर दिया गया। सिर्फ़ 50 सेकंड रिलीज़ किए गये जब मैं security वालों को समझा समझा के खीज चुकी थी। अब फ़ोन फॉर्मेट करके पूरी वीडियो Delete कर दी ? CCTV की फुटेज भी ग़ायब! साज़िश की भी हद्द है!” (First Bibhav beat me brutally. He slapped and kicked me. When I freed myself and called 112, he went outside and called the security and started making a video. I was screaming and telling the security that Bibhav had beaten me brutally. That entire long part of the video was edited. Only 50 seconds were released when I was fed up of explaining to the security guys. Now they formatted the phone and deleted the entire video? CCTV footage is also missing! Even conspiracy has its limits!")

• Bibhav Kumar's lawyer counters Swati Maliwal's claims

Rajeev Mohan, the counsel of Bibhav Kumar has put forward the following points as counter in court against Swati Maliwal:

1. The incident occured on 13th May, but the complaint was registered on 16th May.
2. The videos and security report shows that what has been complained about by Swati Maliwal, the contrary has occured.
3. Bibhav is just a normal P.S. (Personal Secretary). Why will he attack a Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament?
4. There has been a lot of exaggeration and lies in the complaints of Swati Maliwal. For example, there was no torn shirt. Her head was not banged on the table, as has been alleged.
5. Moreover, from the CCTV images that have been formally retrieved, Swati Maliwal shows no signs of extreme injury.
6. The call to 112 is recorded, and the officer who goes to attend it is also recorded. In the record of PCR call, Delhi Police clearly records every single thing, if anyone is injured, his medical record is recorded. If there is any injury, he is sent to hospital for medical treatment.
7. Swati Maliwal met the SHO (station house officer), and if there was deep injury to her body, why did the SHO not make any medical sheet?
8. If there was real pain in the body, there would have been no politics/statements in the media on this issue. She is doing politics on this issue.
9. Delhi Police is distorting facts.
10. Even if the mobile formatting by Bibhav Kumar was true, the formatting of the mobile had nothing to do with the case, as nowhere in the complaint was it stated that Bibhav used to call or threaten by WhatsApp or call.
