“Tomorrow, Delhi Police will come to interrogate my old and ill parents,” the Delhi CM said in a post on X.
Soon after Kejriwal’s post Delhi water minister Atishi also furthered the claims and slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for involving Kejriwal’s parents in the case.
“I want to ask PM Modi and BJP that 85 years old father of Arvind Kejriwal who cannot walk alone without support and the mother of Arvind Kejriwal who just returned home a few days ago after spending a long time in the hospital, do they think that 85-year-old patients raised their hands on Swati Maliwal? Does the BJP feel this?” said Atishi.
Want fair probe, as the incident has two versions: Kejriwal
Earlier today, in his first reaction to the assault case, Kejriwal demanded a fair probe in the case and claimed “the incident has two versions”.
“I want fair investigation, justice in Swati Maliwal assault case as incident has two versions,” Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal told the news agency PTI.
The chief minister said the matter is currently “sub-judice” and his comment might affect the proceedings.
“But I expect there will be a fair investigation. Justice should be served. There are two versions of the event. Police should investigate both versions fairly and justice should be done,” Kejriwal said.
