In a shocking incident, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta was slapped by an unidentified man during a public hearing at her residence this morning. The unprecedented attack came from a man who is disguised as a complainant with the intention to meet the Chief Minister and put forth his grievance during ‘Jansunwai’ programme. The Chief Minister’s security personnel immediately took the offender into custody and is now being questioned.
Rekha Gupta has been rushed to the hospital after the incident and the official residence was immediately cordoned off by the police teams and officials to prevent any untoward incident. She was shocked when the man in his 30s surged forward when his turn came and slapped her before mouthing some expletives at her in loud voice. The motive of the attack is not yet known. However, the incident exposed the security lapse at the meeting.
Unofficial reports claimed that the person who attacked the CM belongs to Rajkot. He came with some papers and approached the CM with a grievance. When his turn came, he slapped her and hurled abuses.
To address public concern, the Chief Minister attends Jansunwai meeting at her residence on every Monday morning. But, this unfortunate incident has left everyone in shock. Rekha Gupta was named as Chief Minister of Delhi in February this year after BJP’s landslide victory against AAP. She won as MLA from Shalimar Bagh constituency with a thumping majority and was elevated as CM.
