The order was passed by Judge Gaurav Goyal past midnight, after hearing arguments from the Delhi Police and the counsels appearing for Kumar.
Appearing for the Delhi Police, Additional Public Prosecutor (APP) Atul Srivastava sought 7-day police custody of the accused.
Advocates Rajiv Mohan and Shadan Farasat, appearing for Kumar, opposed the police custody on the grounds that the arrest was made in haste since Kumar had filed for anticipatory bail.
Kumar was arrested by the Delhi Police on Sunday. He filed for an anticipatory bail application, but the same became infructuous after his arrest.
Maliwal is a Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament (MP) from AAP. She alleged that she was assaulted by Kumar at Kejriwal’s residence.
As per the FIR, Kumar hit Maliwal in her chest, stomach, and the pelvic area with legs.
Some purported videos surfacing on social media have showed Maliwal engaging in a heated argument with the security personnel, while walking out of the Chief Minister’s residence.
