Senior BJP leaders and top officers of Delhi Police have rushed to her residence to secure the premises.

His mother, Bhanu, has said Rajesh is a dog lover and was upset over the Supreme Court's recent ruling to round up stray dogs in Delhi NCR and shift them to shelters, sources said.

To address public concerns, the Chief Minister attends a 'Jansunwai' meeting at her residence every week. Senior BJP leader Harish Khurana said, "One person present at the meeting attacked the Chief Minister. Right now, doctors are examining the Chief Minister. We condemn the attack. It should be investigated if this attack was politically motivated."

Former Chief Minister and opposition Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) leader Atishi has condemned the attack and said there is no place for violence in a democracy. "The attack on Delhi's Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is highly condemnable. In a democracy, there is a place for disagreement and protest, but there is no place for violence.
