The Supreme Court is deliberating on the bail plea of Bibhav Kumar, an aide to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is accused of assaulting AAP MP Swati Maliwal on May 13 at Kejriwal’s residence. The bench, comprising Justices Surya Kant, Dipankar Datta, and Ujjal Bhuyan, expressed shock and compared Kumar’s behavior to that of a 'goon'. Senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi argued that the allegations were false and pointed to discrepancies in Maliwal's statements and delays in filing the FIR. The Supreme Court has issued notices to Delhi Police and scheduled the next hearing for August 7. Kumar, who has been in custody for 75 days, maintains that his detention is no longer necessary as the investigation has concluded.
