Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta suffered serious injuries in a shocking attack during a “Jan Sunwai” program at her residence in North Delhi. Minister Kapil Mishra described the incident as a “planned conspiracy,” raising urgent concerns about the safety of political leaders in the capital.
Reports say the assault left Gupta with visible injuries. Despite this, she continued working from her home and reviewed important files, showing determination. Mishra stressed that she remains in shock and must rest to recover.
The attacker’s background has increased public alarm. Mishra revealed that the person has a criminal record, including attempted murder and smuggling. This revelation sparked questions about how such individuals reach senior political figures and exposed weaknesses in the city’s security.
Delhi already struggles with a crime rate about 20 percent higher than Punjab’s average. The assault on the chief minister highlights the risks that public officials face in the city.
In response, many are calling on policymakers and law enforcement agencies to strengthen security for political leaders. Stronger protections are essential to safeguard those in leadership and to reassure citizens that such incidents will not continue.
The attack on Rekha Gupta serves as a stark reminder of the challenges of governance in Delhi. Authorities now face pressure to deliver justice and ensure leaders can carry out their work without fear.
