**Delhi CM Gupta Under Increased Security After Attack; Conspiracy Suspected**

**NEW DELHI – August 26, 2025 (The Hindu)** – Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is now under heightened security following an attack last week at a public hearing. The Delhi Police have been assigned to provide round-the-clock protection, establishing two rings of security with nearly 40 personnel.

The move comes after an incident on August 20th at Ms. Gupta’s Civil Lines camp office, where she was attacked by a man from Gujarat. While the Union Home Ministry initially considered deploying the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to secure the CM, the responsibility was ultimately given to the Delhi Police. Sources suggest the decision was made to avoid public concern regarding the police’s ability to ensure general public safety.

“There was a sense that transferring the task of securing the CM to the CRPF would send a wrong message. Questions would have been asked that if the police are not able to secure the CM, how could they ensure the common person’s safety,” a highly placed source revealed.

The new security protocol includes two personnel stationed in front of the CM at all times, forming an inner security circle, while an outer ring will manage public access and crowd control. Chief Minister Gupta has been accorded ‘Z’ category security by the Union Home Ministry.

Police have also added a criminal conspiracy charge (Section 61 of the BNS) to the FIR against Rajeshbhai Khimji and Tahseen Syed, the two men accused in the attack. Investigators believe evidence suggests the assault was pre-planned.
