Maliwal urges Delhi court to reject Bibhav’s bail plea

Justice Anoop Kumar Mendiratta reserved verdict on the bail plea moved by Bibhav Kumar in relation to the case after hearing his counsel as well as the lawyers appearing for the Delhi Police and Swati Maliwal. "Order reserved. Keep for order on Friday," the judge said.

Senior counsel for the police opposed the bail plea, saying investigation is going on and a charge sheet would be filed on or before July 16.

"On or before July 16, we will file the charge sheet. We are in the midst of investigation," said senior advocate Sanjay Jain representing the police. Ms. Maliwal was also present in the court and said she has been subjected to threats, trolling and victim shaming since the incident. "Not only was I brutally assaulted, my entire life's work has been taken away," she said.
