The FIR, filed on Thursday, accuses Kumar of physically assaulting Maliwal, including slapping, kicking, and hitting her in the stomach. 

"We have added section 120B (punishment of criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) in the FIR as investigation has indicated to a larger conspiracy," a police officer said. 

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju condemned the Indian National Congress for allegedly disseminating the misleading video, underscoring the imperative of upholding truth and integrity in public discourse.
