"Swati Maliwal has a 3x2 centimeter bruise over her ‘proximal left leg dorsal aspect’ and another bruise of 2x2 centimeter bruise over her “right cheek below her right eye',” the report, filed on Saturday, stated.

The AAP Rajya Sabha member's medical examination was conducted at AIIMS on Thursday night.

In her FIR, the former DCW chief has accused Bibhav Kumar of slapping her “at least seven to eight times,” in addition to kicking on her chest, stomach, and pelvis. The FIR also states that Bibhav pounced on her, dragged her, and in the process, her shirt was pulled up and its buttons got opened.

“My head hit the centre table but he continued to beat me,” the FIR quoted Maliwal as saying.

The alleged assault took place on Monday at the official residence of Kejriwal, who is also the national convenor of the Aam Admi Party. While the party remained silent on the day of the incident, it acknowledged a day later that Kumar “misbehaved” with Maliwal.

On Friday, however, the AAP took a U-turn, and accused the BJP of “colluding” with Maliwal to “target” Kejriwal. The saffron party has dismissed the charge.
