"Now she is being pressured to keep silent or change her story as is evident from statements of Naveen Jaihind & Nitin Tyagi of AAP hence she hasn't approached the police yet True face of AAP - Anti women anarchist party," Poonawala said.

Delhi BJP President Virendraa Sachdeva added, “Last night, Arvind Kejriwal, Sanjay Singh and Bibhav were seen together at Lucknow airport. This shows Arvind Kejriwal himself stands with the oppression of women. The person who has been accused of assaulting Swati Maliwal is roaming around with him. This is the real face of Aam Aadmi Party which is anti-women."

Meanwhile, the vice president of the BJP's Delhi unit, posted on X, "This is the photo of Lucknow airport last night The one in the black shirt is Vibhav who hit Swati Maliwal Along with Sanjay Singh who said that Bibhav did a very wrong thing, Kejriwal is angry The third one is Kejriwal himself who is accused of getting Swati beaten up."
