The recent attack on Delhi's Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has brought to light the complex life of the accused, Rajesh Sakaria, a resident of Rajkot, Gujarat. Known in his locality as a passionate dog lover, Sakaria has faced multiple legal charges, including assault and liquor possession, though he has been acquitted in most cases.
Sakaria, an auto-rickshaw driver, gained notoriety in his community for prioritizing the welfare of stray dogs over family concerns. He has been known to rescue and care for injured dogs, expressing a desire to establish a canine shelter. The attack led to political turmoil with BJP and AAP exchanging accusations over altered photos allegedly manipulated with AI.
Questions remain about Sakaria's motives for traveling to Delhi, with family members insisting his trip was about protesting a Supreme Court decision affecting stray dogs. His associations with political figures have only added fuel to ongoing political tensions between major parties.
