Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta was allegedly physically assaulted at a “Jan Sunwai” programme at her official residence in Civil Lines on Thursday (August 20, 2025) morning, the BJP said. According to Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva, the Chief Minister suffered a ‘light blow to the head’.
Mr. Sachdeva met the Chief Minister after the incident and said that doctors have examined her, and she is doing well.
“During the Jan Sunwai this morning, the Chief Minister was speaking with the public, as she always does. A man approached her, presented some paper and suddenly held her hand while trying to pull her towards him. During this, there was some jostling. People nabbed him. Who he is, and all other details, are being investigated by the Police.

“The CM is stable. Doctors have examined her... It seems that she suffered a light blow to her head. The slap or stone-throwing stories are fabricated,” he said.
