Police have filed a charge sheet of around 400 pages in a magisterial court against the man accused of attacking Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta during a 'Jan Sunwai' programme at her camp office in Civil Lines, sources said.

They said that the accused, Sakriya Rajeshbhai Khimjibhai (41), and his friend Syed Tahsin Raza have been charge-sheeted for various offences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including attempt to murder, assaulting and obstructing a public servant from discharging his duty, and criminal conspiracy.

The court sources said that the Magistrate, after taking cognisance of the final report on Saturday (October 18, 2025), posted the matter for further proceedings on October 30, 2025.

Court sources said, according to the final report, Khimjibhai was angry because the Delhi Chief Minister supported the Supreme Court's order of August 11, 2025, directing authorities to relocate stray dogs.

The charge sheet includes the statements of over 40 witnesses, court sources said.

Ms. Gupta was attacked during a ‘Jan Sunwai’ programme at her camp office on the morning of August 20, 2025 around 8:15 a.m., Ms. Gupta’s office said, terming the assault part of a “well-planned conspiracy to kill her”.

The Chief Minister was attended by doctors and underwent MLC (medico-legal case) examination, CMO officials said.
