He arrested me and tried to destroy me in many ways in Tihar Jail but, then also he could not destroy me. However, today, he has crossed all the limits. He has targeted my old and sick parents to destroy me
– Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal
I have been trolled and press conferences are being done every day to assassinate my character. This is done only to create pressure on me so that I end this matter…Every word I said in that FIR is absolutely correct. I am ready to undergo a polygraph, narco test…’Main itni sasti nahi hoon, mujhe pata hai yeh ladai main akele hi ladungi
– On being asked about a Chief Minister’s statement that there was pressure on you to compromise, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal
I am not giving a clean chit to anyone…The truth is that I was assaulted in the drawing room of Arvind Kejriwal. This has come out in the MLC. The moment I filed the complaint, the whole party (AAP) was brought forward against me and repeatedly my character assassination was done and victim shaming was done. Edited videos were leaked in the media. It is being said that CCTV footage has gone missing…When I called ‘112’ I was in pain and trauma, I thought he (Bibhav Kumar) might hit me again…An investigation is ongoing and I would like to participate in it
– On assault case, AAP MP Swati Maliwal

Nirbhaya was also asked why she did not travel in auto, why did she go out in the night and not in the day?…Victim shaming happens with every woman…The sad part is that woman Delhi minister said, “Her clothes are not torn”. I want Police to conduct my polygraph test so that everything becomes clear
– On victim shaming, AAP MP Swati Maliwal
I was told Arvind Kejriwal was at home and he was coming to meet me. I was screaming for help but no one came to help me
– AAP MP Swati Maliwal
I had gone to the CM’s residence to meet Arvind Kejriwal. The staff asked me to wait in the drawing room and I was told that CM Kejriwal was at home and he was coming to meet me. Meanwhile, his PS Bibhav Kumar came and started abusing me, he said, “Teri aaukat kya hai” and many other things. He slapped me 7-8 times… I called the police and when he realized that I had called the police, he went out and called the security… They made a 15-second doctored video viral, they tampered with the evidence
