Security for Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has been dramatically increased following an assault on her at a public event. The Delhi Police has now designated Z+ security status to Gupta, entailing the deployment of over 40 personnel to ensure her safety.

The move comes after the Union Home Ministry initially assigned Z-category cover, which has since been withdrawn as the local police took control. The new security arrangement involves a comprehensive system to protect Gupta during her public engagements, ensuring stringent checks and constant vigilance.

In the aftermath of the attack, two individuals, Rajeshbhai Khimji and his associate Tehseen, have been apprehended. Investigations reveal that the attack was a planned conspiracy, prompting heightened protective measures for the Chief Minister's public appearances.
