In view of the safety and security of accused Rajeshbhai Khimjibhai Sakariya and Tehsin Raza Sheikh, the Tis Hazari Court on Friday ordered them to produce them through SAS. They are accused in the Delhi CM Rekha Gupta attack case.
Both Rajeshbhai Khimjibhai Sakariya and Tehsin Raza Sheikh are facing trial in the Delhi CM attack case of August 2025. They have been charged with serious offences including attempt to murder and criminal conspiracy.
They prayed to be provided with a separate cell in the jail van during transit from the jail and back, as other inmates beat them.
Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Nishant Garg passed the order after hearing submissions of counsel for both accused and prosecution, and a report from Jail Authorities. “Accordingly, the accused persons are directed to be produced through SAS till further orders,” ASJ Garg ordered on July 24.
Advocate Siddhant Malik and Harry Chibber, counsel for the accused persons, submitted that threats are being extended and the accused persons are being physically assaulted by other inmates during transit.
Meanwhile, on Friday, the court recorded the testimony of Prosecution witness (PW) Dhirendra Kumar. He was present during the incident and got an eye injury while trying to protect CM Rekha Gupta when Rajeshbhai Khimjibhai Sakariya allegedly attacked her.
