He told me that Swati Maliwal is unnecessarily creating an issue and levelling serious allegations against him. When Swati Maliwal reached the CM’s office cum residence in Delhi, my son informed her to wait for some time to meet the Chief Minister but she levelled false allegations against him. My son is innocent,” Rai, who retired as a constable in the Bihar Military Police (BMP) told media persons in Rohtas. After completing his studies at the Kashi Hindu University of Banaras, Bibhav went to Delhi to study journalism. During the same time, he came in contact with Arvind Kejriwal.
