Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta narrowly escaped what has been described as an assassination attempt during a public program on Wednesday morning. The CM was attacked by Sakriya Rajeshbhai Khimjibhai, a resident of Gujarat, who has since been arrested. Authorities suspect the assault is part of a larger plot.

CM Gupta sustained injuries in the attack but reaffirmed her dedication to serving Delhi's citizens. The incident has prompted immediate joint investigations by the Intelligence Bureau and Delhi Police. Initial findings suggest Khimjibhai, a known animal lover, was discontented with a Supreme Court directive regarding stray dogs.

The assailant's actions have sparked widespread condemnation. Former Delhi CMs Arvind Kejriwal and Atishi emphasized the importance of peaceful discourse in democracy. Meanwhile, an increased review of Gupta's security arrangements has been recommended as investigations continue to unfold.
