Kejriwal's aide Bibhav Kumar to move Delhi HC against rejection of bail: AAP

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's close aide Bibhav Kumar will approach the high court after a city court rejected his bail plea in Swati Maliwal 'assault' case, AAP said on Monday.

A court here on Monday dismissed the bail plea of Kumar who is accused of assaulting AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal at the CM's residence on May 13.

"Kumar will move the High Court against the lower court's decision," the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said in a statement.

Metropolitan Magistrate Gaurav Goyal rejected the bail plea of Kumar, a personal assistant of the CM, after hearing arguments from both sides in the court. A detailed order on the matter is awaited.
