dhruv rathee: ‘Getting rape and death threats’: Swati Maliwal opens up on campaign by AAP, YouTuber Dhruv Rathee

Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal has opened up about the death and rape threats she has been receiving, following an alleged “character assassination” campaign launched by AAP and she claimed that the situation just got worse when YouTuber Dhruv Rathee released a one-sided video against her on the assault allegations.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Maliwal said that after the leaders and volunteers of AAP orchestrated a campaign of charachter assassination, victim shaming and fanning of emotions against her, she has been getting rape and death threats.

“This got further exacerbated when YouTuber @Dhruv_Rathee posted a one-sided video against me. As far as the party leadership goes, it is very clear that they are trying to intimidate me into withdrawing my complaint. However, for Dhruv, I tried my best to reach out to him to tell him my version but he ignored my calls and messages,” she further said.(More to come)
