Kolkata Police told the court that Monojit Mishra is highly influential and “could terrorise the survivor and witnesses.” His custody has been extended to prevent obstruction of justice.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Manoj Kumar Meena emphasized in an affidavit that the brutal assault on AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal at the Chief Minister’s residence had a profound impact on the public. The accused, a close aide to the Chief Minister, is seeking bail, but the police argue that this would jeopardize the safety of the victim and her family.
