The accused is said to be Rajesh Bhai Khimji Bhai Sakaria, who arrived at the meeting claiming to be a complainant and suddenly attacked the Chief Minister on the pretext of showing documents. 

The security personnel immediately overpowered him and took him into custody, and started questioning him. The Chief Minister has been taken to the hospital for treatment. Now the question arises that who is the accused and why did he attack the CM?

Who is the accused?

According to sources, the accused is a resident of Rajkot, Gujarat, and is about 41 years old. Initial information revealed that the accused had come with an application to release a relative from jail, which is pending in the court.

However, a new twist came in this case when the accused's mother, Bhanu Ben, spoke to the media. She said that her son is not associated with any political party but is an animal lover. The accused's mother said, "My son was sad about the matter of dogs. He always used to say that dogs should not be beaten, but they should be fed. That is why he went to Delhi."

How did they attack?

According to police sources, the accused arrived in front of CM Rekha Gupta with some papers during the public hearing. First he started talking on the pretext of showing the documents and suddenly slapped her and pulled her hair.

The security personnel present on the spot took immediate action and caught the accused and took him out of the venue. After the incident, the CM suffered minor injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital. At present, his condition is said to be stable.

This attack is being strongly condemned from all sides. Both the opposition and the ruling party say that there is no place for violence in a democratic system and such an attack is unacceptable. Delhi Police has registered an FIR against the accused and his motive is being investigated in depth.
