IIE Digital Desk : Delhi Police have detained Bivhav Kumar, husband of Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal, following allegations of misconduct. The incident has sparked a political row, with accusations and counter-accusations flying between different parties. Bivhav Kumar was taken into custody on Thursday after a complaint was lodged against him. The specifics of the allegations remain unclear, but the situation has escalated quickly, drawing significant media attention. Swati Maliwal, known for her vocal activism on women's rights issues, has vehemently defended her husband, claiming that he is being targeted unfairly due to her own work against powerful figures.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has demanded a thorough investigation, while Maliwal has called the detention a politically motivated move aimed at discrediting her efforts. "This is a clear attempt to intimidate me and derail the work we are doing at the DCW," she stated in a press conference. The Delhi Police have assured that the investigation will be conducted impartially. "We are following all legal procedures and will ensure that justice is served," said a police spokesperson. mThis case highlights the intense political tensions in Delhi and raises questions about the influence of political motives in legal actions.
