Who Is Bibhav Kumar? Kejriwal's Close Aide Who Allegedly Assaulted Swati Maliwal Was Fired By Vigilance Department As Delhi CM's PA

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's close aide Bibhav Kumar, who allegedly assaulted former Delhi Commission for Women chief and Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal at the Delhi CM's residence on Monday, was sacked by the vigilance department from his position as Kejriwal's private secretary in April this year.

Last month, he was dismissed after being questioned by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the Delhi excise policy case.

An order issued by Special Secretary (Vigilance) YVVJ Rajasekhar stated that Kumar’s services were terminated immediately as he was appointed in violation of Central Civil Service Rules concerning temporary appointments.
