Rekha Gupta, a senior BJP leader, has been granted Z+ category security after intelligence agencies flagged credible threats to her safety. This places her under the protection of an elite commando team, a privilege shared by only a select few political leaders in India.

The decision has stirred political controversy, with opposition leaders accusing the government of favoritism and misuse of state resources. Supporters of Gupta, however, welcomed the move, saying her growing prominence in politics has made her a target for rivals.

With Z+ security, Gupta will now have a close protection team of NSG commandos round-the-clock, along with bulletproof vehicles and advanced surveillance cover.

New Delhi, August 20, 2025 — In a dramatic turn of events that sent shockwaves across the national capital, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta was attacked inside her camp office in Civil Lines on Wednesday morning during a routine ‘Jan Sunwai’ programme. The incident, which unfolded in front of dozens of citizens and officials, has sparked massive political uproar and raised serious questions about the security of India’s capital’s top leader.

The Shocking Sequence of Events

According to eyewitnesses, the assailant, later identified as Rajesh Bhai Khimji Bhai Sakariya, a 41-year-old resident of Rajkot, Gujarat, walked into the camp office disguised as an aggrieved citizen. Carrying a set of documents, he patiently waited for his turn and then approached the Chief Minister.

Within seconds, the situation escalated. After handing over some papers, the accused lunged forward and allegedly slapped the Chief Minister.  Chaos erupted inside the office as officials, security guards, and citizens struggled to process what had just happened.

CM Rekha Gupta’s Condition

Sources close to the CM’s office confirmed that Rekha Gupta sustained minor injuries to her hand and head. She was immediately checked by doctors and is now reported to be out of danger but visibly shaken.

“Madam is stable, but the incident has deeply disturbed her. We are reviewing security protocols,” a senior official from the CM’s team said.

Who Is the Attacker?

The accused, Rajesh Sakariya, hails from Rajkot, Gujarat and is known to be an animal lover. Investigators have revealed that he was enraged over a recent Supreme Court order on the relocation of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR.

Officials believe the attack may have been premeditated. Sources claim that Sakariya conducted surveillance  near the CM’s residence and camp office for almost  24 hours before striking. A mobile phone recovered from him allegedly contains videos of prior reconnaissance.

Explosive Political Reactions

The attack has ignited a political firestorm. Leaders across party lines have condemned the assault, calling it a direct attack on democracy.

BJP leaders called the incident a cowardly and pre-planned conspiracy, demanding an immediate probe.
AAP spokespersons slammed the security lapses, saying, “If the Chief Minister isn’t safe inside her own office, how can ordinary citizens feel secure?”
Congress leaders expressed solidarity with Gupta, urging the Centre to strengthen VIP security measures.

Meanwhile, the Delhi Police and the Ministry of Home Affairs have launched a **high-level investigation** into the matter.

What Comes Next

Sakariya is currently in custody and will be interrogated further to determine whether the attack was a lone-wolf act or part of a larger conspiracy. Investigators are also exploring his political affiliations, mental health records, and any links to activist groups.

Security at the CM’s residence and camp office has been dramatically tightened, with additional paramilitary forces deployed in and around Civil Lines.
