"A person attacked CM Rekha Gupta during Jan Sunvai today. The accused has been nabbed by the Delhi Police and is being questioned," the Delhi CMO said.
Why did he attack?

"My son loves dogs. He was angry after the Supreme Court's order against stray dogs. And left for Delhi soon after. We don't know anything else," said Khimji's mother, identified as Bhanuben.
She also claimed that the accused suffered from mental illness and had attacked his family members on several occasions.
