Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal’s former husband Naveen Jaihind has claimed threat to her life and “anything could happen” to her hours after her party admitted to assault on the former Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief by Bibhav Kumar, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s Personal Secretary.
In a video posted on social media, Jaihind claimed that Maliwal's life was in danger and Sanjay Singh is "acting" and that he knew about the entire incident.
He also alleged that Sanjay Singh is trying to "intimidate her into silence."
He, however, mentioned that he has not spoken to Maliwal since their divorce in 2020.
