Swati Maliwal alleges CCTV camera tampering
DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal alleged that the closed circuit cameras at the chief minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence were being tampered with and his aide Bibhav Kumar had formatted his mobile phone. In its remand note, police have said a portion of the footage from the CCTV cameras at the chief minister's residence is showing blank. Maliwal took to social media to stress this point. Referring to the 2012 Delhi gangrape-murder, she posted on X, «There was a time when he hit the streets to get justice for Nirbhaya. Twelve years later, they are hitting the streets to save an accused who deleted CCTV footage and formatted the phone. I wish they had tried so hard for Manish Sisodia. If he was here, maybe something so bad would not have happened to me.» Sisodia, Delhi's former deputy chief minister, is in jail for over a year now in the Delhi liquor policy case. Maliwal has alleged that Kejriwal's aide Bibhav Kumar assaulted her on May 13 when she went to the CM's residence to meet him. AAP has trashed her allegations.

Jules and Jim, Wings of Desire, Metropolis, Notorious—bought between the ages of 21 and 26 at hole-in-the-wall shops in Mumbai and Chennai but most often in the dank underground of Delhi’s Palika Bazaar. There was an unvarying routine: you would ask for foreign films, be offered porn, explain that you meant the other kind of foreign film, bargain half-heartedly, and stumble into the sunlight clutching Renoirs and Kitanos that may or may not play when you got home. It had all the unreliability and exhilaration of a drug deal.
