Ex-Kejriwal Aide Granted Sri Lanka Trip Amidst Assault Allegations

Former aide to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Bibhav Kumar, has been granted permission by a Delhi court to embark on a family vacation to Sri Lanka. The trip, scheduled for August 13-22, comes despite Kumar facing accusations of assaulting AAP MP Swati Maliwal.

Court Balances Family Time with Legal Obligations

Recognizing Kumar’s personal commitments and family obligations, the court carefully weighed the request against the ongoing legal proceedings. The court’s decision emphasizes the importance of family time while ensuring Kumar’s return to address the assault allegations.

Strict Conditions Ensure Return to India

The court’s approval isn’t unconditional. Specific measures have been put in place to ensure Kumar’s return to India following the vacation. These conditions, coupled with the court’s previous approval of his passport renewal, mitigated concerns about flight risk, allowing the family trip to proceed.
