Delhi CM Rekha Gupta attacked during a public event at her residence

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta was reportedly attacked during the weekly Jan Sunvai at her residence in Civil Lines, PTI reported on Wednesday.

As per PTI sources within party said that Gupta was "attacked" by a man aged around 35. He first gave the CM some papers during the public hearing and then allegedly attacked her.

Delhi BJP President Virendraa Sachdeva has strongly condemned the incident.

Further, a police inquiry is expected to reveal more details.

The Jan Sunvai is a weekly public hearing where citizens bring their grievances directly to the Chief Minister’s office.

Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav also condemned the attack on Gupta. "This is very unfortunate. CM leads the entire Delhi, and I think that the more such incidents are condemned, the less it is. But this incident also exposes women's safety. If the CM of Delhi is not safe, how can a common man or common woman be safe?" he said speaking to ANI.
