There is CCTV footage that clearly shows she was arguing and misbehaving and left the premises on her own with no signs of limping or being assaulted. She is clearly making things up because her own statements don't add up. Women like swati are the ones who play the victim card and file false charges against men misusing the law for their own personal vendetta. If she was assaulted as badly as she described in her complain then what about the CCTV footage that shows her exiting the CM's house appearing completely fine and not limping but later she said she was badly hurt and was limping. She is just saying all the BS to make it a political issue

And suddenly everyone forgot about Prajwal Revanna.

I think the plot is to get Kejriwal’s personal secretary arrested as they couldn’t break Kejriwal.

She is trying to ditch AAP. Mark my word in coming days she will be one of the turncoats.

She must have been promised some huge amount by BJP to defame Kejriwal by meeting him in person. She however could not succeed and hence the Tamasha.

Her status is of an MP and he is a mere PA. He has no business to even talk aloud with her although after seeing the videos and she sounding bossy, I doubt she was physically assaulted!

Swati Maliwal is no where saying why she is going there without an appointment. Why is she not coming out with why she is going to the residence when he is just out of an ordeal. Beyond any understanding. Now she is talking to the media that is all pro BJP . Her sweet language is not what she exactly used in the drawing room.

When will Police arrest the Swthi Maliwal accused of illegal recruitment case registered by the Anti-Corruption Branch?

Of all the issues in the country, a fight within a party between two members has now got so much airtime.

Criminal conspiracy in this case to lower down CM

Well... if Ms. Maliwal joins the BJP in the near future, we'll know exactly what happened, and why. If not, for obvious reasons, one can expect the most rigorous investigation by agencies.

Thanks for the breakdown. But no one asks the question, why was she there? Did she visit on a personal capacity? Answering that question will also reveal a lot.

Her walking shows the real truth. I will not believe BJP police in Delhi. Delhi police is also complicit in this because they are responsible for allowing her into CMs house.

Balanced analysis. We have to wait to know what happened at the CM's office and why is the AAP in a state of confusion. Raghav Chadda's silence adds to the mystery.

😂😂😂what really happened is clear. She tried to ditch AAP arvind kejrewal and unfortunately she fail..what an actor bhajpa had introduce..

Faye is amazin, great job💐

Shame on you Swathi Maliwal. She will join the BJP soon

Sanjay Singh in his statement had said "abhadrata" hui which means indecency in hindi. This was before Swati's FIR came out in public domain and based on hearing one side of the story i.e Swati's. Big mistake on Sanjay Singh's part. But doesnt mean that he actually admitted to all the details in the FIR. If some1 was beaten up like she said she was, they wouldn't be able to walk out of the house the way she did, all the way to the police station.Matter should be investigated fairly not with a bias that because a woman is complaining it has to be the entire truth.

She is lying, she gave an interview to prime mouth piece of bjp ANI; nothing else to see here

We'll probably never know the truth !😢😢

It seems a bit fortuitous, doesn't it. First off, you don't usually get to meet the party boss without an appointment. But i digress. She goes over and for some reason this dude comes out, and, what's a good euphemism, decides to for absolutely no reason unleash his inner Selmon Bhai upon her. Selmon Bhai usually only does this to his girlfriends, and clearly they're not dating. Now, I've been on the receiving end of a few thrashings myself and been witness to a few others. (Needless to say I don't condone any violence against anyone.) One of the first things when you get slapped like a bag of rice at the grocery store, is that you're quite disoriented. Then, as your wits begin to return you get out of the place. Anyone who is going to assault you might also decide 'in for a penny, in for a pound', and decide to do worse. You get the hell out of there. You probably might even go straight to the police station. She apparently sat around waiting for cops and didn't seem very bruised or anything when it ended. And when she did decide to talk, it was to ANI, a news agency as believable as Selmon Bhai's alleged virginity. The party is off guard because nobody saw this coming. If and when she's proven to be a liar she will set back whatever miniscule amount of progress in women's rights that has been made since the days of her braving the water cannons after the Nirbhaya case. They got to her when she was out of town. Retire, cash out, bugger off to a foreign country, and if fate wishes she could always come back. If not the outrage eco system and party payoffs could always support her.

How the word 'abhadarta' translated as assaulted in English. Feminism broadened the definition of assaulted and now argument over disagreement with women become assaulted which can be punished as a sexual offense. Western copy paste of Feminism ruined even the Indian justice system.

Hi Faye I was just watching your video on Maliwal. I wish to tell you that the quality of audio is not good. The voice volume goes up and down. There is a slight echo which masks clarity. I think you can do something about it.

Why did you do medical after 3 days

I am still confused please someone give me a clear timeline.

Neither Sanjay Singh nor Arvind Kejriwal admitted that Maliwal was assaulted, only said that she would be redressed.

She is trying to introduce a new case to augment her case by telling that she was in period

No rift in the party. People who don’t have the grit and honesty to stay don’t stick .

Ms Dsouza, you completely neglected to mention how Mr Kumar also tried to make a FIR and give his side. But this was not accepted by DP. Infact if you look at the investigation, there are questions raised because this was a pushed by DP and women's cell head even before Ms Maliwal registered and FIR. In this case please remember the woman is the position of power. Not the man. Just because she is a woman hence she should be right, is very biased.

The other important aspect of the cctv footage being deleted at the CM’s office seems extremely shady. Mustn’t be missed.

hi Faye - Sanjay Singh did not say that an assault had taken place. Please listen in to what he said ..

Sanjay singh didn't confirm anything

very good analysis faye ji

The title of the video promises more than it delivers

2:26 And you think BJP will say as you please my lord. It is a political party it will certainly do politics in other parties internal issues.

she mentions she was slapped 7 8 times and the hit with legs on back and stomach i don’t think a normal can walk straight if gets hit this much and will be in bloodshed but she is seen fighting with security in the video some things are notmatching up

I think kejriwal dodged a bullet (metaphorically )by not meeting her . But aap threw the PA under the bus if what atishi said is true.

And how promptly Delhi Police n LG hv acted!

But she's a known certified Drama Queen... not the first time her throwing a fit, no?

The heading should have been “What happened to Swati Maliwal before coming to Kejriwal’s Residence”

Maliwal is also leaving it to the authorities to do a thorough investigation..

Shameful comments section.

She was send as a predator or a traitor to Kejriwal‘s home without prioe appointment.

It looks fishy, any assault is definitely a punishable offense. But if she lied about this, it is a punishable offense, she would have tried to get someone arrested based on lies.

Good summary of the various news on this topic. Regarding your conclusion, that AAP does not have a strategy for this. It seems that you expect that a party will have a strategy for every kind of issue that can potentially come up. Something like a rule book or book of guidelines which everyone in the party will have to memorize. I think that AAP and Kejriwal has handled it quite well. The two clips of Swati Maliwal and also of her not registering a fir on the same day is raising a lot of questions on her. Also the language that she used in the video was very unbecoming of her as a public figure. It is true that the real nature of a person comes out when the cameras are turned off.

After seeing the video of Swati Maliwal, I am convinced she is trying to frame AAP, the way she talk in the video she doesn't looks like she just got beaten Black and Blue

She has the most incredulous version of the story. She was using insanely foul language and belligerent behavior against Bibhav, who was admirably polite with her. Going by her version, the guy just snorted something and turned into a vicious monster suddenly and hit her. Then went back to nicely escorting her outside in another video. How naive can one be to believe this horsetrash.

How superficial? You regurgitate what godi media. Said. Did not mention cctv footage where Swati is swiftly walking away out of kejriwal house? Why is it not clarified what the Delhi police staff did or say ? What does diary of the police say about cforciblee entry? I had high regards for your journalitic objectivity.

Comprehensive analysis, thanks for sharing. Well researched.

The very best coverage of the incident. Absolutely unbiased spot on. Great work. Whether it has any effect on electoral outcome only time will tell.

Nothing clear after so many versions.

Very sad if a lady has been assaulted.

What about Sanjay Singh's press conference?? 😂😂😂 Were is the CCTV footage?? All footages were deleted, who deleted it? MCD is under AAP... Mobile phone was formated and what about medical report??

Why Swati is so important at this juncture just kicked out from the AAP

It's frame ,soon she will join bjp with fanfare

Do you really believe this story Swathi is spinning?

AAP is confused as to what statements make. The senior leaders are refuting each other's statements. That is diabolical. At the fringes of a messy election for Delhi. Even the rumor of Chaddha not supporting Kejriwal can hurt and cause massive rifts in AAP. On the other hand Kumar's phone being completely formatted, the short clip releasing without context can really shift the narrative in Maliwal's direction and the way investigation and everything is headed seems like early signs of exit result for Maliwal from AAP. Complications that AAP would never would want.

You are like a breath of fresh air in the media space . A big thanks for keeping the beacon of journalism lit !

Where is the video showing her leaving the residence in police escort ?

Bullshit...she is clearly seen abusing d PS Kumar...n seen coming out of CM office without any injury ..sold out to bjp.

I think it's not going to affect, people also will wait for right thing to come out and law take it's own course and not to mix with ground burning issues of the country, they don't want to come into conclusions making reasons whom to vote, the present status remains as it is with Kejriwal's popularity!!!!!

It seems she has nothing to report in the media?

Though what exactly transpired at the CM’s residence (& in whose presence) may not be known anytime soon, a few things were deliberate on both sides: 1) Swati not wanting to give up her RS seat that easily, choosing to make a complaint to the Delhi Police knowing how it could be manipulated by the BJP, going to the CM’s residence without his consent (apparently), giving an interview to ANI/ Smita Prakash of all people doesn’t smell good at all but AAP jumped the gun and Atishi’s Press Conference blaming Swati & a BJP conspiracy gave Swati the freedom to go all out against AAP & thereby the interview & delayed FIR…BUT she had already made a call to the cops / helpline while still at the CM’s residence absolutely points at her ill intentions. 2) CCTV footage from the CM’s residence being wiped out was probably done to avoid Kejriwal being made a party to another “conspiracy” / case to embroil him in & he may have tried to pacify her after whatever happened but having seen it hadn’t worked, he needed to maintain silence so as not to lose his time out on bail (if he sensed all this as a conspiracy). Similarly Bibhav Kumar formatting his mobile may have other reasons behind it, it would have a lot of stuff to deal with Kejriwal’s connections to many people who probably connected to him through Bibhav and besides it also must’ve had some communications between Swati & Bibhav that he probably may not have wanted to be made public (it may or may not have anything to do with the personal lives of the two of them). The CCTV footage may have also been partly erased to avoid Kejriwal’s elderly parents or others in the family getting caught up in the web of “evidences” that Delhi Police was likely to weave or it would’ve anyway happened due to routine investigation, also the visit of many other individuals unrelated to this issue or which needn’t be made public (as per AAP) could have further caused problems for them or the footage could be leaked selectively (doctored or otherwise) once it’s in the control of the DP. 3) Initial statements by Sanjsy Singh, later on by Atishi we’re all made in a rush and probably wasn’t thought out so well & they were merely either wanting to look “fair” or were (later) convinced by the DP’s swift actions & the LG’s letter that the BJP was either behind it or was fishing in troubled waters. 4) Swati knows only too well what she can get away with (accusations by a woman & a cheerleader of women’s rights), mentioning about her menses or being kicked in the pelvic region may have been for added impact & gaining sympathies (highly deplorable if it actually happened or she was indeed assaulted, no matter what the provocation might have been) 5) What led to this whole fiasco has to do with Swati’s RS membership (which she clearly didn’t want to let go of), Kejriwal’s rush to get AM Singhvi to swap Swati’s RS membership since he was unsure of when he’d be able to get another bail could have escalated the problem which was probably encashed by Swati & the BJP (together or not, that remains to be seen)

She struck a deal when Kejriwal was in Jail..in the meanwhile the BJP worked on this lady ...to create some issue .She needs to be investigated inside out ...I feel there's more to the eye...so these BJP freaks have Delhi Police etc under their control and directly under HM and LG...so it's perceived that these BJP guys just can't lose Delhi ..u must understand that it's a Lok Sabha Elections...and the alleged victim is playing to the Gallery without naming her back up supporter...If she is silent on the real facts..BJP is behind all the waiting room and every drama etc...Thats why BJP will be gone in Delhi for the 4th time...

The mere fact of the destruction of the very crucial CCTV records at the CM's residence itself is a good indication of something bad / incriminating having happened at Kejriwal's residence if not also of Kejriwal's involvement in this murky matter.

We can clearly see her abusing the people within Kejriwal’s residence in the CCTV footage.

Since, BJP couldn't hold him in jail , targetted Kejriwal's PA who has details of Kejriwal's election campaigns.

She is joining BJP

People like a MP of Rajya Sabha visit CM with appointment. Every official meeting requires preparation of mind. The way Swati Mahiwal went to CM house shows her intention, to tarnish the image.

yes

First sheesh mahal which itself is a glaring case of hypocrisy based on his own earlier statements visavis principles of AAP. Second, the whole liquorgate scam and his arrest Third , now the Swati Maliwal accusation. Really depends on how Delhi voters see all this....

Public believes that Dealing with Swati was pre-planned while Kejriwal was in Jail. Kapil sibbel & AS Manusighvi obtained bail for Kejriwal. Don't know why SC judges gave him a special bail. Swati wanted to explain to Kejriwal why she can't resign as MP to make Manusighvi as MP. But Kejriwal was adamant and refused to discuss but insisted Swati to resign immediately..The bail was for settling demand for MP seat by Manusighvi and not as Judges described " election campaign". This is the public perception and Manusighvi Kapil Sibbel or Kejriwal should give details

Delhi police investigation will it be BIASED? Delhi police under central government + LG

What a mess!! 😂

Also .. you have chosen to not show the CCTV of her walking out of the CMs residence.

well explained ! thanks! clear factual journalism.. thums up!!

I don't think this is the complete picture or unbiased. You completely ignored the second set of CCTV videos, 3 CCTVs to be precise of the very same day in which she was walking perfectly fine while she was limping 3 days later, plus why did she file case after three days ?

thank you for compiling all the information

Which lady will ask the perpetrator not to hit her pelvis for she is in her period cycle. This information was given by Swati herself. Was she so friendly with Kumar

She is bjp's agent, soon to join bjp that's why all this drama. Shame on you woman.

It's quite confusing as you said. But the chances are that the vote share for kejriwal might not entirely get affected by this incident (as it is still chaotic and questionable in lot of ways). However it is the likability towards BJP weighing in more that would hamper AAP vote share in this lok sabha. But in the future if things are not taken stand for or a silence treatment is given by AAP it might affect their image and support amongst people of Delhi as well as Punjab.

One thing she was assaulted for sure , but not so badly as it is projected and there are reports that maliwal, raghav belongs to the group where BJP has planned the breakaway group of the AAP.

I will not speculate about Swati Maliwal case. It needs to be investigated, cross checked and validated. Something has happened to Swati, that needs to be investigated. We might point out to conspiracy, but this is serious. Koi bhi dudh ka dhula nahi hai.

❤❤❤

Gone Girl ?

Swati , please give an interview to Karan Thapr and answer his questions. Otherwise people will not believe.

Where did Sanjay agree to assault?

I feel like what swati is saying is true. But what AAP is saying is also true, about this being BJP's ploy. The BJP could've bribed the PA and told him to assault Maliwal, so as to create an internal rift in the party; because now that he got bailed and could campaign for elections.

Redundant to commoners.

Just give enough time for her to officially get into bjp.. then nothing is a mystery

She was seen abusing police & thn walking normally out of CM house. Thn she goes to police station & police dont find anything that makes them to send her to hospital. But she was seen walking slowly with some "pain" in face after 3 days!!...She may lose her RS because this case goes against her for sure.

Attention seeking politics. One gets arrested the other claims victimisation too. Pathetic!

Paid by bjp look like they didn’t make national issue of Manipur n wrestlers girls why it is made now it clearly show she was sent by bjp

Swati Mole-wali is the mole of bjpee. So it was just collateral damages. Don't try to twist Sanjay Singh's statement. We consider you out of Godi media

I think , Kejriwal was targeted but the PS escaped him.

What a bunch of jokers.

Huhuhhh an old man assault an old woman this is clearly a game

I stay away from AAP's political domain and do not have skin in the game. If I can take a stab at describing AAP's game plan, I'd say "Smoke and Mirrors"; they make accusitions and attempt to make quick gains. It may seem juvnile at times but it has worked for them. This incident makes me feel that AAP has gone t a self destruct mode, may be they may as well make-up to each other !

The way faye D'Souza reports non bjp related news vs bjp/modi related news is soooop different 😂

The matter needs to be investigated. If there's been an assault then Kejriwal must take necessary action. Definitely BJP will use this issue. I'm surprised at the fact that she chose the least credible journo to do a podcast with!
