After the remand of accused Vibhav Kumar in the Swati Maliwal case ended, the court ordered him to be remanded in judicial custody for 14 days.
Delhi's Dees Hazari Court orders 14-day judicial custody of Vibhav Kumar, an accused in the Swati Maliwal case. Vibhav Kumar, one of the accused in the Swati Maliwal case, was arrested by the Delhi Police on May 18. Before being sent to judicial custody, Vibhav Kumar was in Delhi Police custody. Earlier on May 28, the court ordered Vibhav Kumar to be remanded in police custody for three more days. While the police sought 5 days of remand, the court granted only 3 days. Even from the Delhi High Court Vibhav Kumar did not get relief. Vibhav Kumar's plea was refused to be heard on Friday. The High Court has referred Vibhav Kumar's petition to the MP-MLA court. A bench of Justice Swarn Kanda Sharma will hear Vibhav Kumar's petition. In that petition, Vibhav Kumar had sought a departmental inquiry. In the petition, it was argued on behalf of Vibhav that he was forcibly detained by the police. Along with this, compensation was also awarded for his forcible detention and a departmental inquiry was sought against the police. During the last hearing, advocate Atul Srivastava, appearing for the Delhi Police, had said that the Chief Minister's residence is very sensitive from the security point of view and if anything happens there, it would be very sensitive. He will call 112 on his behalf. Why was the call not made? The lawyer said that even after Vibhau's removal, people were calling to meet him, so Swati Maliwal also called him. Argument made by the police: The police told the court that only Swati Maliwal called 112 on the day of the incident and no one except her made any call from the Chief Minister's residence. Swati Maliwal is the current Member of Parliament and president of the Delhi Commission for Women, and the party leader called her Lady Singham. Does Vipa need permission to meet the party leader?
