Advocate Pradeep Rana has been appointed the Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) to represent the Delhi Police in connection with the First Information Report (FIR) over the attack on Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on August 20.

According to an official notification issued by the Home Department, Rana has been authorised by the Delhi government to appear before the courts in the matter related to the FIR lodged at Civil Lines Police Station.

The case involves the assault on the Chief Minister by a man from Rajkot (Gujarat) during a Jan Sunwai at her camp office, the Mukhya Mantri Jan Sewa Sadan on Raj Niwas Marg.

Two accused were arrested in total after the incident and are currently in judicial custody.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Rekha Gupta resumed her public hearing programme at her camp office amid tight security arrangements.

People from different parts of the city raised their grievances and sought help from the Chief Minister during the programme, which began at 8 am.

Gupta was seated on a chair while people came up before her one by one, submitting their applications and interacting with her through a microphone set up across her table.

Earlier, Gupta used to go among the people gathered for Jan Sunwai at her residence-cum-camp office, freely interacting with them.

Police personnel, including female security staff, formed an inner ring around the chief minister as she conducted the Jan Sunwai.

Proper security arrangements, including policemen frisking participants with metal detectors and monitoring the proceedings through CCTV cameras, were put in place to prevent any incident.

Gupta was attacked by a man from Rajkot (Gujarat) during a Jan Sunwai on August 20 at her camp office, the Mukhya Mantri Jan Sewa Sadan on Raj Niwas Marg.

A large number of men and women gathered at the Chief Minister’s residence on Raj Niwas, hoping for a solution to their problems and also seeking help from the government.

Nearly 165 persons submitted their grievances and suggestions to the chief minister, who directed necessary action on them, officials said.

Many people also greeted Gupta with bouquets on the occasion.
