In videos on X (formerly Twitter), Maliwal is seen in an intense argument with the security officials. She can be heard asking why was Delhi police not allowing her to meet the victim and criticised the police for not arresting the accused, even after over a week since the case was filed against accused.
Swati Maliwal demands arrest of accused
DCW Chief Swati Maliwal demanded the arrest of the accused and was enraged when not allowed to meet the victim. She got into a confrontation with the guard and when her demand was not fulfilled, she staged a sit-in in the hospital premises.
"Why only detained? Why not arrested till now? Why is Delhi Police trying to shield the accused persons? Why is the Delhi Police not allowing me to meet the survivor? What are they trying to hide?," questioned Swati Maliwal, after Delhi Police detained the official as well as his wife.
