'The cowardly attack on Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is part of a well-planned conspiracy.

The statement added that Rajesh conducted a recce of the CM's residence, filmed videos of the premises, and then attempted the assault in a 'deliberate and planned manner.'

According to Indian Express report, Khimji has nine cases registered against him at a single police station — mostly for drunken misconduct, apart from criminal intimidation and assault. The 36-year-old Rajesh, his father and brother are all rickshaw drivers in Rajkot.
