Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta was attacked during the weekly 'Jan Sunvai' at her official residence in Civil Lines on Wednesday.

The police have arrested the attacker and are interrogating him. However, the reason for the attack is not clear yet.

Rekha Gupta, in her first reaction after being attacked, termed the act a cowardly attempt not only on her but her resolve to serve Delhi, asserting that such things can never break her spirit and commitment to serve the public.

Taking to social media platform X, the CM said: “The attack on me during the Jan Sunwai this morning is a cowardly attempt not only on me but on our resolve to serve Delhi and the public good. Naturally, I was in shock after this attack, but I am feeling better now. I request all my well-wishers to please not bother to meet me. I will be seen working among you very soon.”

“Such attacks can never break my spirit and resolve to serve the public. Now I will be among you with more energy and dedication than ever before. Jan Sunwai and resolving public problems will continue with the same seriousness and commitment as before. Your trust and support is my biggest strength. I express my heartfelt gratitude for your immense love, blessings and good wishes,” she added.
