Rekha Gupta Suffers Light Blow To Head

The chief minister suffered a light blow to her head. The Delhi BJP chief refused the news of the CM being slapped. "The slap or stone-throwing stories are fabricated...Such incidents in politics are condemnable...Jan Sunvai will continue. CM is resting right now but she has said that she will not cancel her programs," he added.

Security has been stepped up at the Delhi Chief Minister’s camp office after she was allegedly attacked. Officials said the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has been informed about the incident.

According to an eyewitness present at the spot, the attack took place while the chief minister was interacting with a complainant.
“We were all sitting. A person whose turn had come sat with the CM. While speaking to her, he suddenly attacked. We heard a loud sound, and immediately the police detained the man,” the witness said.

Shailender Kumar, another visitor who had come to raise sewerage-related complaints, recalled: “We heard someone had slapped the chief minister. This is not right.”
