**Rekha Gupta’s First Image After Attack During Public Hearing**
A new image of Rekha Gupta has surfaced following the violent incident that occurred during a public hearing on Wednesday. The Chief Minister convened a meeting with all seven Lok Sabha BJP MPs from Delhi in the aftermath of the attack. The incident unfolded at Gupta’s Civil Lines residence, where a man assaulted her during a Jan Sunwai (public hearing).
According to officials, the assailant initially approached the Chief Minister with some documents before erupting into shouting and physically striking Gupta. He was swiftly subdued and arrested. Police sources revealed that the attacker, identified as Rajesh Bhia Khimji, had a relative currently incarcerated and had come to present a petition for their release, which is pending in court. Witnesses reported that other attendees at the event intervened and restrained him before law enforcement arrived.
In her first statement following the attack, Gupta expressed that the assault was not merely an attack on her but a cowardly attempt to undermine her commitment to serving the people of Delhi. She stated on social media, “The attack on me during this morning’s public hearing was not just an attack on me, but a cowardly attempt on our resolve to serve Delhi and work for the welfare of the people.” Gupta emphasized that the incident would not deter her spirit or the continuation of the program.
The alleged attacker has been remanded to police custody for five days by a Delhi court. During this time, authorities may transport him to Rajkot to reconstruct the crime scene at the Chief Minister’s residence. Investigators will also look into his interactions upon arriving in Delhi and have sent his mobile device for forensic analysis to determine if there is a broader conspiracy behind the attack.
**Conclusion**
The incident raises significant concerns about safety during public engagements and the challenges faced by public officials in their commitment to community service. As investigations continue, the focus remains on ensuring the safety of all participants in such events.
