Delhi High Court last month rejected Bibhav Kumar’s bail plea
Last Month in July, the Delhi High Court had rejected the bail plea of Bibhav Kumar on the ground that he is an influential person and it cannot be ruled out that if granted bail Kumar can influence witnesses and also tamper with evidence.
The case against Bibhav Kumar is that he physically assaulted Swati Maliwal on May 13 this year when she had gone to meet the Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, at his residence.
Bibhav was arrested by Delhi Police, which is probing the case, five days after the incident and since then Bibhav Kumar has been in jail.
