Delhi Court Seeks Police Report on Complaint Against CM Rekha Gupta's 'Hanuman' Remarks
A Delhi court has directed the Kashmere Gate police to submit a status report by October 15 on a complaint seeking an FIR against Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. The complaint alleges that Gupta, during a September 23, 2025 government event launching a bus service, compared Delhi officials to 'Hanumans' whose powers are noticed only when their 'tails catch fire.' The complainant claims these remarks hurt religious sentiments and seeks police action. The court is reviewing the matter based on the complaint and related documents.
