In a stormy twist of events, AAP MP Swati Maliwal has been caught up in an appalling
scandal punctuated by accusations of murder and enmity with YouTuber Dhruv Rathee. The
controversy began with Rathee’s explosive video on the Swati Maliwal assault case which
rapidly degenerated into a credibility war.

Maliwal, who is widely known for her strident activism on women’s rights issues,
unambiguously attacked Rathee claiming that he masterminded a deliberate plot to malign
her. She vehemently denied any semblance of aggression after the assault as portrayed in
Rathee’s video which she termed as partial means of destroying her reputation.
The situation took a turn for the worse when Maliwal released a chilling ultimatum pledging
to sue those responsible for death threats and chaos. Defiantly, she confidently declared that
the culprits were not anonymous and there would be repercussions to their actions. Here’s
the tweet by Swati Maliwal targeting AAP leaders and Dhruv Rathee –

Rathee’s video gained more popularity when its supposed disclosures led to many debates
and arguments. However, these raised questions in the midst of such furor whether the
material presented was genuine or there was something hidden behind it. This entire
incident also raises a huge question: Dhruv Rathee: a YouTuber or an AAP
spokesperson?
Netizens have fierce reaction towards this controversy, let’s explore their reactions –

Maliwal is standing on the edge waiting for her political future to unfold before her eyes while
the nation looks on. The unfolding drama is a sharp reminder of how high the stakes are
when it comes to power, scandal and survival in India’s volatile political terrain.
