The trial in the case of an alleged attack on Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is scheduled to start on November 10 after the matter was escalated to a sessions court. The incident occurred during a public hearing at Gupta's camp office in the Civil Lines area on August 20.
Judicial Magistrate Kartik Taparia moved the case to a higher court for further proceedings. The court previously acknowledged a 400-page chargesheet against Sakriya Rajeshbhai Khimjibhai and his associate, Syed Tahsin Raza. They face serious charges, including attempted murder and obstructing a public servant.
Khimjibhai's plea for medical intervention due to vision problems was addressed by Tihar Jail, stating appropriate treatment was provided. Khimjibhai allegedly attacked Gupta due to her support of a Supreme Court order on relocating stray dogs, which he opposed.
