The Delhi Police have identified the attacker of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta as Rajesh Khimji from Rajkot, Gujarat. His identity is under verification through documents, following his arrest at the Jan Sunvai event where he pleaded for his imprisoned relative's release.

Post the attack, officials including Delhi's Chief Secretary and Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh reached Gupta's residence. BJP state chief Virendraa Sachdeva confirmed Gupta's stable condition, assuring the public of her resilience and undeterred schedule.
