Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's aide Bibhav Kumar, arrested for allegedly assaulting AAP MP Swati Maliwal, is being taken to Mumbai for the retrieval of data from his formatted iPhone, police said on May 21, as per ANI.

Kumar is under a five-day judicial custody in connection with the alleged assault on Maliwal, a Rajya Sabha MP, at the CM's Delhi residence, the report added.

Police reported that Kumar had formatted his phone before transferring the data to some person or device in Mumbai, as quoted by ANI.

"His mobile phone was seized following his arrest but it was found to have been formatted," they said, as quoted by ANI.

Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brijesh Pathak launched a fierce criticism of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday, following allegations of assault by involving Kejriwal's former aide. Pathak declared that Kejriwal has been "completely exposed."

"Kejriwal has been completely exposed. His two-faced character has been revealed," Pathak stated on Tuesday.

"The media reports we have been seeing about receiving foreign funds regarding respect for women are very sad. We condemn it as strongly as possible, and the people of the country, the people of , will never forgive him," he added.

Pathak's remarks follow allegations by against Bibhav Kumar, Kejriwal's former personal aide. Maliwal accused Kumar of physically assaulting her at the Chief Minister's residence, claiming he "slapped" her "at least seven to eight times," "brutally dragged" her, and "kicked" her in her "chest, stomach, and pelvis area."

In response to these allegations, Police took Kumar to the CM's residence on May 20 to recreate the crime scene. Kumar was arrested and remanded to police custody for five
