Trouble broke out at Delhi’s Gandhinagar today when Delhi CM Minister Rekha Gupta made first public event since a recent attack at her residence. The incident raised immediate security concerns, putting a spotlight on the heightened precautions surrounding her appearances.

According to witnesses, a man at the event began shouting slogans against the Chief Minister after a heated exchange with local traders. Police personnel acted swiftly, escorting the individual out of the venue to prevent the situation from escalating further.

A man raised slogans in support of the Chief Minister, but soon shouted some “murdabad” slogans, prompting police to step in. As officers escorted him away, he claimed to be a BJP leader.
Gandhinagar MLA Arvind Singh Lovely was present at the event.
The incident comes in the wake of heightened security following Wednesday’s attack on the Chief Minister. During that incident, Ms. Gupta was listening to public grievances when a man in his 40s, identified as Rajesh Sakriya from Gujarat, assaulted her. Sakriya’s mother later said he was upset over the Supreme Court’s directive to move all stray dogs to shelters.
After the attack, Ms. Gupta was placed under ‘Z’ category VIP security, with CRPF personnel assigned to her inner security detail.
Addressing the gathering this morning at the inauguration of Vastrika, a garment show at the Gandhinagar wholesale market, the Chief Minister spoke briefly about the attack.
