Aug 20, 2025: Sakriya Rajesh Bhai Khimji, 41, from Rajkot, Gujarat, is the man who allegedly attacked Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta during a 'Jan Sunwai' programme at her camp office in Civil Lines on Wednesday morning.

A News18 report says that he approached the CM with documents about a relative held in Tihar Jail and asked for her help getting the relative out. After handing over the papers, he suddenly “slapped” the CM, pulled her hair, and hurled abuses.

He was quickly restrained and taken into custody by security guards. He is currently being questioned at the Civil Lines station by Delhi Police, with help from Gujarat Police to verify his personal information. Praveen Shankar, a spokesperson for the BJP, stated that Khimji's political affiliations are still unknown, but that he may be associated with a party that is dissatisfied with its current standing in Delhi. After meeting with the CM, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva told reporters that the CM is "shaken," but she is doing fine.

According to officials, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has been informed of the incident and the camp office's security has been enhanced. "We all were sitting," a witness who was present at "Jan Sunwai" stated. A person's turn came and they sat with the CM; while they were talking, he suddenly attacked her. There was a loud noise. And the person was detained by the police right away."
