**Headline:** Security Concerns Rise After Attack on Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta
In a shocking incident last week, a man attacked Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta during a public hearing, prompting an urgent investigation into the security protocols surrounding the event. Sources indicate that the assailant, identified as Sakriya Rajeshbhai Khimji, traveled to the national capital with a knife and a premeditated intent to harm.
Initially, Khimji had contemplated targeting the Supreme Court but abandoned that plan due to heightened security measures. Instead, he shifted his focus to the Chief Minister’s residence in Shalimar Bagh, where a ‘Jan Sunwai’ (public hearing) was scheduled for the following day. Investigators revealed that Khimji discarded his knife in the Civil Lines area upon noticing increased security but still managed to enter the premises unarmed and get close enough to launch an attack.
Khimji later informed the police that he attended the Jan Sunwai to voice concerns about stray dogs. According to the Rajkot Police, he traveled from Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh to Delhi on August 19 to protest against a Supreme Court ruling regarding stray dogs.
In a related development, authorities arrested a second suspect, Tahseen Syed, a close associate of Khimji, in Rajkot. Police allege that Tahseen assisted Khimji in planning the attack and facilitated financial transactions prior to the incident. The two maintained regular communication before and after the assault, which led to Tahseen’s arrest following a trail of digital evidence uncovered during the investigation. He was brought to Delhi for questioning on Friday, and the investigation is ongoing.
In light of this incident, security protocols at the Chief Minister’s residence have been revised. The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) will now oversee the outer perimeter, while the Delhi Police will manage internal security operations, ensuring enhanced safety for public events.
