The row over Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Coolie has reached the Madras High Court, with Sun Pictures challenging the CBFC’s decision to grant it an ‘A’ certificate. The producers argue the film has been unfairly classified compared to similar action-heavy hits like KGF and Beast, which received U/A ratings. On August 19, Justice TV Thamilselvi admitted the petition and scheduled a hearing for the next day.

00:00We're beginning the bulletin with our focus on breaking news that's now coming in.
00:04This is Sun TV Network Ltd which has knocked the doors of Madras High Court
00:08against the grant of A Certificate to Rajli Khan's starrer, Kooli Film.
00:14Cites examples of KGF and Beast being given new A Certificate,
00:18that is movies that have equal amount of action and violence,
00:22and questions the logic behind the A Certificate for Kooli.
00:25The A Certificate which is issued by the Central Board of Film Certification
00:30means that the movie is restricted to adult audiences only, that is 18+.
00:36And that is a certificate that's been given to the movie Kooli.
00:39Now it is the Sun TV Network Ltd that has come to knock on the doors of the Madras High Court
00:44asking for why such a certificate has been given to the Rajli Khan's starrer.
00:49Or in a particular case where other movies which have equal if not more violence in action scenes
00:56have been given the Universal Certificate which is films like KGF and Beast.
01:02These are the examples that have been cited by the Sun TV Network.
01:06And this is the big breaking that we are in fact bringing to you.
01:08Remember Rajli Khan's starrer, Kooli only released last week
01:11and we have seen the kind of enthusiasm, excitement, fervor around this very movie.
01:18And now we see there being a case around it
01:22and the certification that's been issued to this very movie
01:25around that very aspect of that facing a legal case.
01:29Now Anagar Kesaf joined us on the broadcast to in fact bring us more details on this.
01:33Anagar, take us through what exactly has gone down
01:36and what more has been presented by the Sun TV Network Limited
01:40in support of their argument
01:43as to why Kooli should not be given a certificate of adult watch.
01:49Well in fact Kooli is produced by Sun Pictures
01:52that's Mr. Kalani Dimaran who is a relative of Chief Minister Stalin's family.
01:56So Sun Pictures does belong to the family of DMK.
02:00It is very much linked to that family wife
02:02and they have appealed to the Madras High Court questioning the logic
02:06as to how come Rajini Khan's starrer fully got an A certificate
02:10thereby making it impermissible for people below 18 years of age
02:14to watch the movie on screen.
02:16They question the logic behind it
02:17citing examples of movies like
02:19Yash Starrer, KGF, Vijay Starrer's Beast.
02:23Both these films, Beast and KGF
02:26did have a lot of bloodshed, a lot of action scenes, a lot of noise.
02:29So the council from the Sun Pictures site
02:33has questioned the logic as to
02:34how come these two films have been given a UA certificate
02:37but a film like Kooli has been given an A certificate.
02:41So that's the kind of argument
02:42that the Sun Pictures has put forward.
02:45The case will come up for hearing today
02:47a post which will really know
02:48if there's going to be any change in certificate
02:51or if A certificate will continue to be there for Kooli.
02:54Right Ananda, thank you for putting it into context
02:58for our viewers at this given point.
03:00That's all that we have for you viewers
03:01on this very breaking news that we are picking up
03:03and we will keep a close track of how things proceed.
03:06And now looking at a story
03:13which is indeed developing at this point
03:15but indeed comes to be extremely crucial
03:18when we speak of the monsoon session
03:19that is currently underway.
03:20Union Home Minister Amit Shah
03:22is likely to introduce three significant bills
03:25in the Lok Sabha today.
03:26These bills aim to create a legal mechanism
03:29to remove the Prime Minister,
03:31Union Ministers and Chief Ministers
03:33or Ministers in States and Union Territories
03:36who are arrested and held in custody
03:38for serious criminal charges
03:40without needing a court conviction.
03:42The proposed bill states
03:43that if such leaders are jailed
03:45for 30 consecutive days
03:46for offences punishable by five years or more
03:49they must resign or face automatic removal
03:52on the 31st day itself.
03:54This marks a stricter departure from the current laws.
03:57The bills are to be tabled today
03:59which include the Constitution 130th Amendment Bill 2025,
04:02the Government of Union Territories Amendment Bill 2025
04:06and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganization
04:08Amendment Bill 2025.
04:10Notably, the constitutional amendment
04:12requires a special majority
04:14while which the ruling NDA currently does not have.
04:18These proposals come amid high-profile corruption cases
04:21which involves former Delhi Chief Minister
04:23Arvind Kejriwal
04:24and Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren.
04:27Now, this is the particular story
04:29that we are looking at three of these bills
04:32that is likely to be introduced
04:34by the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah,
04:36in the very lower house today.
04:38And if we speak of these three bills,
04:40yes, these are amendments,
04:42but the constitutional amendment
04:43requires a special majority
04:45of two-thirds of the house
04:46which is where it might actually end up
04:49being a strong point of contention.
04:52Of course, it will be a strong point of contention
04:54between the opposition and the current government
04:56otherwise as well.
04:57But this is where the government
04:59may actually face a challenge
05:01in terms of getting this very bill passed in the House.
05:04This is what we are, in fact, looking at
05:06at the very top of this segment
05:08on the bulletin on these very three bills.
05:11And the amendment focuses, remember,
05:13on criminal charges
05:14rather than convictions primarily
05:16because of the significant delays
05:18in the criminal justice process in India.
05:20That is what's been cited so far.
05:22Because it talks about, in fact,
05:24taking action or ousting
05:26the particular minister,
05:28be it the Prime Minister,
05:29be it the Chief Minister or Union Ministers,
05:31on the 31st day after 30 days of conviction.
05:41Now, we have more breaking news
05:43coming in at this given point.

08:32Well, viewers, those are the preliminary details at this given point.
08:47And we do have statements coming in from the BJP.
08:52Arvind Dojha also joining us on this very matter.
08:55Arvind, very good morning to you.
08:57First of all, what knowledge are you getting?
09:00Arvind, I will come back to you.
09:02Let me quickly bring in Delhi BJP President Virendra Sajdeva, who is currently online with us.
09:08Mr. Sajdeva, tell us what exactly happened, what are the preliminary details we are getting,
09:13and how is the BJP reacting to this?
09:15There is conspiracy that's being cited by you, sir.
09:18Mr. Sajdeva, tell us about the
09:20party of the BJP Government.
09:20Ladies and gentlemen, this is our first point.
09:22Thank you very much.
09:52Thank you very much.
10:22Thank you very much.
10:52Thank you very much.
11:22Thank you very much.
11:52Thank you very much.
11:54Thank you very much.
13:46And in fact,
13:47it is in
13:48If you look at it,
13:50such an event that
13:51it is an event
13:53of the similar sort
13:54that we are speaking of.
13:55Hanh Sun Vai
13:56that she was part
13:57in baking
13:57that she was participating in
13:59when this attack took place.
14:00These are preliminary details.
14:02Viewers, 35-yr old attacker
14:05slapped the
14:06chief minister of the national capital
14:08at this given point.
14:10Big news coming in
14:11at the very topic this segment
14:13of the bulletin
14:15location where Rekha Gupta currently is. He's spoken to her and has taken information with
14:20regards to her condition. She is stable and she is being treated in the hospital. But yes,
14:25preliminary details have suggested that it is a 35-year-old attacker that slapped the
14:30Chief Minister. Police have already taken him into custody. We are looking at a probe
14:34that has already begun. We are awaiting more details with regards to the motive behind
14:40such a criminal act being in fact undertaken by this very man. Whether it was a personal motive
14:47that was at play behind this very attack or whether there was a larger conspiracy that we
14:53are looking at that is something that we are still awaiting the details of. But so far what we have
14:58given to understand is this attack took place at the Chief Minister's residence in civil lines in
15:03the national capital itself when the Janssenwai event was underway where the Chief Minister in fact
15:08ends up interacting every day with people, listening to their grievances in terms of what are the
15:14problems they are facing and even addressing them. This is one of the daily events that she in fact
15:21participates in and police is currently inquiring into this very matter. They are conducting an
15:27inquiry. The person who in fact attacked the Chief Minister is in custody. He's being questioned
15:32and we are awaiting more details in terms of the motive behind this very attack. But the BJP so far
15:38has strongly come out to condemn this very attack. And they have said there are BJP leaders who are
15:44already crying foul. They are saying that it is there is a political conspiracy behind this very
15:49attack. And that is why the Delhi Chief Minister was slapped during the particular Janssenwai program.
15:56Now Arvind Doja joins us on the broadcast to in fact bring us more details. Arvind, very good morning to you.
16:10morning to you. Sabse pahle, BJP ke jose president hai, wo bhi kah rahe hai, in fact leaders bhi kah rahe hai ki
16:15is the police police.
16:31and the police on record
16:34has not been prepared to say anything.
16:37No one has been prepared to say anything.
16:41But the BGP is aware that
16:44the police and Rekha Gupta
16:47had an assault on him.
16:51After that, the security was detained
16:54and the local police, which is a civil line police station,
16:58and the police were detained.
17:01The police had a proper security.
17:05But the police had a new complaint
17:10and the police were sent to them.
17:13The police were arrested
17:17and then the police were arrested.
17:20The police were detained
17:23and then the police were detained.
17:26The police and police had asked
17:28what the police heard when it was jail.
17:31This will be information
17:33but the police had not seen this case.
17:36The police did not include it.
17:38There is the facts of BGP,
17:40and the police's complaints
17:41and the police were arrested.
17:43When he was listening to Jansunwai, he told him that he was listening to Jansunwai.
17:48If we go into details about what exactly happened,
17:52he said that he was in the residence of Jansunwai,
17:57when he was listening to Jansunwai's program.
18:00What exactly happened?
18:02Because there are many details,
18:04that he had a question,
18:06he had a question,
18:08what happened exactly?
18:10In this case,
18:13the initial knowledge came from BJP.
18:17As I told him,
18:19he didn't say anything about the Delhi Police.
18:21But the civil line of residence is Jansunwai.
18:25And during that Jansunwai,
18:28the case of Jansunwai,
18:30he was doing some things,
18:32he was physically assaulted him.
18:35When he assaulted him,
18:37there was a security person.
18:39On the other hand,
18:43he was interviewed.
18:45He attacked him by himself.
18:48And when he was killed,
18:52he was killed.
18:54Then he took the local police to take care of him.
18:56And he was killed by the local police where he was treated.
18:58Who was the crime?
19:00Who was the name?
19:02Who was the suicide?
19:03Who was the planning?
19:04Who was the planning?
19:06We also have Amit Bhardwa joining us on the broadcast at this point to give us more details
19:36on this.
19:37Amit, very good morning to you.
19:38You know, this is all preliminary details that we are currently receiving and most of
19:43the story that's come to the forefront right now is from the BJP's side.
19:47There is still no statement from the police in terms of what may have happened.
19:51But let's also understand there is a big question mark with regards to whether this
19:55attack was based on a personal motive or whether there might have been a political
20:00conspiracy behind it.
20:01At this point, the BJP is alleging that there might be a political conspiracy, but how are
20:05we looking at this attack?
20:06Sure, because we could also only say what on the basis of the initial input that have
20:14come in.
20:15Yes, there is an assault that has happened on the Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.
20:19This happened at a official residence.
20:21What we also know that has happened during the Janatunwai was being carried out at a residence
20:29of Rekha Gupta, the Chief Minister of Delhi.
20:31Now, there's a set protocol and security in place at the residence of the Chief Minister
20:38of the National Capital.
20:39She's also a high-level security protector.
20:42So, obviously, there was enough security personnel deployed at the residence.
20:48But we have to also keep in mind when Janatunwai happens, the political leadership or the
20:55Chief Ministers and the Ministers also tend to have an environment where the applicants
21:00and those who have come with complaints or please, they could have direct access to the
21:07concerned Minister or the Chief Minister.
21:09And she had started this trend of Janatunwai in the National Capital.
21:14So, what we are given to understand at this point in time on the basis of the initial input
21:19is that the assault happened during the Janatunwai.
21:23Now, the Barche Janta Party's leader, Sejinder Bagga, is also confirming this particular attack
21:29that has happened on Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.
21:32I think that it is a shocking incident as well as he's confirming that it happened during
21:37the public hearing that it has done Janatunwai.
21:39I will have to wait for confirmation from there.
21:46Right.
21:47Amit, I hope you can hear us at this given point because I have one more question for
21:52you here.
21:53You know, while we are discussing with regards to what may have happened, the motive behind
21:57all of it, one also needs to take a look at the security situation around the Chief Minister.
22:02We are speaking of the Chief Minister of the National Capital here.
22:05Do you think there might have also been a security lapse of some kind wherein this attack took
22:12place at the behest of it?
22:17Well, say, you know, as I was also mentioning that Rekha Gupta happens to be, the Chief Minister
22:22of Delhi happens to be one of the individuals in the National Capital who has a high-level
22:27security clearance from the Home Ministry.
22:30So, the security cover with the Delhi Chief Minister is quite heavy.
22:35But having said that, we have to also keep in mind that this is Janatunwai.
22:41And in terms of Janatunwai, the leaders who have such, you know, arrangements at their
22:47own offices or residence, what they tend to do is that they also have direct access to
22:54the people who have come there with their own fees and application to speak to the concerned
22:59Nita, so Rekha Gupta's office or the security arrangement at her residence would have been
23:06such that people could actually approach her and directly give their grievances to the Chief
23:11Minister, share their concerns to the Chief Minister.
23:13That also opens up a vulnerable point, possibly for the assaulter, which he might have, you know,
23:25used, exploited in order to carry out this particular assault.
23:29But we will have to wait for some time for official confirmation to come from the Delhi
23:34police as well, as well as the agencies responsible for security of the Delhi Chief Minister, Rekha
23:40Gupta.
23:41Because remember, three things need to be, you know, zeroed down out here.
23:48The identity of the assaulter.
23:50Second is the motive of the assaulter.
23:53Whether it was personal grievance, disgruntled individual or someone with political motive.
24:01And third is that whether there was any sort of security lapse on the part of the security
24:06that was deployed at the Chief Minister's office.
24:09Yes, the very fact that this particular assaulter was able to carry out the assault, it clearly
24:16proves that there was a security lapse in the security arrangement that has been done at
24:22the CM residence and this cannot, you know, happen at least in the national capital.
24:27This is not a situation that you would want to happen in the national capital.
24:31Can you speak of public interaction programs like the one that the Delhi Chief Minister in
24:34fact engages in, this Jan Sunbai program.
24:39There needs to be a certain sort of screening done for these people when they are allowed to
24:43interact with the Chief Minister itself.
24:45When they are allowed to interact.
24:47Thank you very much.
25:15I think you can see the police here.
25:20I think you can see the police in the middle of the street.
25:25The police have been found.
25:29The police have been found in the middle of the street.
25:34The DCP has been in the middle of the street.
25:37।
26:07Thank you very much.
26:37Thank you very much.
27:07Thank you very much.
30:35to be able to do this, but this is a very important thing, people don't need to be able
30:41to do such things and do not need to be able to do such things and do not need to be able
30:44to be able to do this.
30:47Yes, you should say that you will also say that you are also broken in the protection
30:51of the government because it is broken in every government.
30:55Is there someone who is broken in the screening of the government?
30:59team
31:29team
31:59team
32:29team
32:59team
33:01team
33:03team
33:05team
33:07Thank you very much.
35:11Before that, we are also in fact being joined at this given point by Anurag Honda of the Aam Admi Party at this point. Anurag ji, you should say what about this attack?
37:11foreign
37:41Oh
38:11Well, viewers, that is what the Delhi Minister, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, has to say on the very attack.
38:29They're all alleging, BJP leaders are all alleging a political conspiracy as a motive behind this very attack, let us tell you.
38:37But as of now, there is no report that's coming from the police probe.
38:41While the man has already been nabbed with that, viewers, let's also take you through this very reaction that's coming from Praveen Shankar,
38:47who is a spokesperson of the BJP and is an eyewitness to this very attack that's taken place.
38:52Our reporter has spoken to him. Let's quickly listen in to what he had to say.
38:54What is the name of the BJP?
38:56What is the name of the BJP?
38:58Thank you very much.
39:28Thank you very much.
39:58Thank you very much.
43:40Our Prime Minister is now safe, but they have said that I will not do my work.
43:47I will not do my work.
43:51And the other thing is that the foreign object or the threat of the threat.
43:56So, viewers, that was the Delhi BJP president, in fact, giving in his statement with regards to what has gone down.
44:03He has spoken about the attack. He has also said that there was no foreign object that was used in the very attack.
44:08It was more of a physical assault against the Chief Minister where she was, in fact, pulled by her hands.
44:14More details with regards to injuries still are awaited as the doctors have already, in fact, seen to her, attended to her.
44:21The mental pressure during such particular incidents or rather the mental trauma of such incidents is usually higher than the physical injuries.
44:33And that is what, in fact, the Delhi BJP president also mentioned that she is still in a state of shock at this point.
44:39But yes, more importantly, he has also said that she is not going to stop with the Jansunwai programs.
44:44And we are still awaiting for more details.
44:46If we just take you through all that's happened so far, Delhi Chief Minister, Srimati Rekha Guptra, was attacked by a man during a public hearing today,
44:54which is the Jansunwai program, which she does every Wednesday.
44:59The accused that was, has been arrested by Delhi police and is being questioned at this given point.
45:05Now, she was, in fact, assaulted during this public grievance hearing.
45:10That is what the preliminary reports have said.
45:12Again, the BJP leaders have been coming out to, in fact, allege of a political conspiracy.
45:19But the Delhi BJP president has said that it's too early to make a comment of that kind.
45:24We are still awaiting for the police to come out with their reports.
45:28Let's quickly listen in to some more ground reports that we are, in fact, getting at this point from right outside the residence.
45:33.
45:34.
45:35.
45:36.
46:03जो है जो सिर पे चोट लगा तो उसके बाद वो तुरंट तब तक जो आधपास लोग थे वो एक्टिव हो गया और उन्होंने उसे पकड़ लिया और पकड़ने के बाद उसे पुलिस के हवाले कर दिया गया पुलिस वही पर मौजूद थी अला अधिकारियों को जानकारी द
46:33If you will, you will be able to see the civil lines of FIRA.
46:36But this will be the same when two things are clear.
46:40One is the motive and the motive.
46:43That is the motive.
46:45So, you can see that you can see the picture in the outside of the city.
46:48The way the CM Rekha Gupta's house is the whole of the people who are living here.
46:55These people who are living here,
46:58Thank you very much.
47:28पुलिस के अफिसर्स मौजूद है जो अंदर लिगा बना के रखे हुए है
47:32नमबर दो जो इंपोर्टेंट है कि वो जो शक्स जिसने इसको अंजाम दिया
47:38उसके पीछे कौन है क्या वो खुद अपनी शिकायद ले लेकर घूम घूम के फ्रस्टेट हो गया था
47:43या फिर इसके पीछे क्लियर हो जाएंगी क्योंकि ऐसे पूरे मामले में मोटीव बेहद महत्वपूर्ण होता है
48:01क्योंकि जब मोटिव आएगा तो पता लगेगा कि कि किसी ने मदद की थी किया किसी ने उक्साया था ये कुछ करने के लिए
48:08because president of BGP says that this needs to be a part of the police.
48:14That this is police.
48:15Police post their work.
48:17They have done what they need to do.
48:23So that is Himanshu Mishra from
48:53the ground right outside the chief minister's residence bringing us all the latest details.
48:56In fact, we have an update for you viewers. Let's understand what exactly has happened so far
49:00according to the information that is received. The age of this attacker is said to be around 40 years
49:06and he had a bag in his hand. The chief minister was surrounded by several people during the time
49:11that the attack took place. Suddenly, this attacker in fact came near the chief minister and attacked
49:16her. What preliminary details are suggesting and even what the daily BJP president has come out to
49:21say that she was dragged by her hand and there might have been a chair or a table which has
49:27in fact in the process that was right in the way when she was dragged and that might have in fact
49:32hit her. More on the physical injury, the details on physical injuries are still awaited but it is
49:38being said that she is still in a state of shock as it happens when such attacks take place. But yes,
49:44the Delhi BJP has also come out to say or rather the BJP has come out to say that she is a very
49:49strong-willed woman who will not be stopping her public interactions because of this attack.
49:54Jansun Rai programs which take place every Wednesday is to continue. The Arm Admi Party leaders,
49:59we also spoke to Anurag Dhanda a little while ago. He also has come out to condemn the attack.
50:03The party has also come out to condemn the attack. The BJP so far has alleged political motive,
50:09political conspiracy as motive behind this very attack. But again, it's too early to say anything
50:16of that sort at this given point because there is no such confirmation that's coming from the
50:20police's side because the cop side because they are still conducting a very strict probe where the
50:26man who's now being said to be around the age of 40 has been nabbed. He is in custody. He is being
50:31questioned at this given point. Several questions, one being with regards to his identity, two being the
50:37motive and the third being was there then a security lapse in terms of why this particular
50:42person couldn't be stopped by the security guards around the Chief Minister. We have Amit Bhadwad
50:47still joining us at this given point. Amit, there are more details coming up as the story is
50:52developing further. Take us through what you are learning at this given point. What's the
50:56latest that you're picking up?
50:57Shreya, what we can now tell us or give clarity to our viewers at this point in time is that what
51:07kind of assault it was. What we are given to understand is that there was a young person
51:14who had approached the CM with some documents in his hand. And after, during this conversation,
51:20he tried to actually hold the Chief Minister's hand and tried to pull her in this entire confrontation,
51:26physical assault that happened on the Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. She had, you know, sustained
51:34certain injury during that. However, the doctors have said that she is completely doing well
51:41right now. The doctors have already, you know, done the medical checkup of that round. The
51:47medical checkup has been already conducted. But Vreen Sachdeva, who is the President of the
51:51Bharti Janata Party in the National Capital, he has confirmed these details that this was
51:56an individual who had come with certain documents in his hand. And possibly that is the reason
52:02this particular assaulter was able to reach to the Chief Minister so close so that he was
52:07able to carry out the assault on the Chief Minister. And this was a situation of dhakka mukki,
52:13that's the word which has been used. Right. Amit, I will come back to you. Please, let us,
52:18let us, I'll come back to you and sorry to interrupt. Let us quickly listen in to some of the narratives
52:22that's coming in from the eyewitnesses who were there at that very moment when the attack
52:26took place. Let's quickly listen in.
52:28We're going back to you. We're going back to you. We're going back to you. I'm going back to you.
52:41I don't know
52:43I'm

53:05foreign
53:19After he was arrested, he was arrested and he was taken to the police station.
53:49specifics of the case which needs to be confirmed by the authorities or the council of minister
53:56with the Delhi government or somebody from the Bharatiya Janta party at this point in
53:59time. What we can certainly tell our viewers as how this attack happened, you know, there
54:04are three aspects to it. How did this attack happen? Number two, what was the motive of
54:09the attack? Whether it was some personal issue because of which he has done this attack or
54:14was it a politically motivated attack? And number third is the security lapse because
54:19the chief minister has certainly a higher grade of security cover that has been provided to
54:25her by the Home Ministry as well. So, Rekha Gupta, you know, the chief minister was holding
54:31a Jansunwai when this youth came and he was holding a certain documents, papers in his hand
54:38and possibly that was also the, you know, excuse for him to get closer to the chief minister
54:45and he then tried to hold the chief minister's hand and in this particular physical, you know,
54:52assault was carried out. Immediately, the people who were there with their grievances to raise
55:00with the chief minister, they also pounced on this particular individual and he was immediately
55:05nabbed and the security around the chief minister had also immediately responded to the situation
55:12and this person, this assaulter was detained. That's what we know. The motive of the attack
55:18is something which needs to be confirmed by the chief minister's security.
55:22I will come back to you. Stay with us. Stay with us. Ashutosh Mishra also joins me on the
55:26broadcast to bring us more details at this given point. Ashutosh, do tell us where you are at this
55:31given point and what are the details that you are picking up in terms of what happened
55:35exactly with this attack?
55:40I'm exactly at the main road of the CM, the chief minister's residence and civil lines
55:44and there you see, I can see the ambulance and the huge number of the cavalcade, convoy,
55:48the police, security, everything. Now the entire road that I'm passed through has been barricaded.
55:53Eventually, the police also did not allow because looking at the security situation, but that's
55:57eventually a breach of security, massive breach of the CM security. Now, apparently, the primary
56:02information that is coming, a 40-year-old person came in Jan Sunwai. Now, remember all the chief
56:07ministers at their residences, they have a camp office and during the camp offices, there
56:12are always Jan Sunwais that take place. And in these Jan Sunwais, the people from, you know,
56:17the chief ministers being also NMLA from their own constituencies and also the people from
56:21all across Delhi with different complaints, different issues, they often come at CM's house.
56:26Now, you see, the massive movement is also happening. So during these Jan Sunwais, they
56:30come up with the complaints, the CM's along with the government officials, staff, they
56:34note down their complaints. And that's how they solve the grievances. During the Jan Sunwais,
56:39as per the primary information, when the person entered the residence, he had some papers,
56:44a bunch of papers, and then he started shouting. The kind of a, he made and that actually alerted
56:48the chief minister's security. Now, right after the attack, eventually once the police, by the time
56:54they could alert and probably go closer to that person. So eventually, that engaged into assault
57:00on the chief minister. That's a massive security. We are seeing the senior security officials from
57:05the Delhi police apparatus have also reached the chief ministers. In the meanwhile, the former
57:10chief minister, Atish, have also condemned the attack on the chief minister, Ekha Gupta. Also, the other
57:16political aspect of the leaders. I'd like to ask you one question here. You know, there are, there are points
57:21being flagged with regards to the documents that was in his hand. Any, any idea so far
57:25with regards to what was being flagged by him before the attack itself?
57:33Well, unless, you know, the police since now has already detained him, he'll be arrested,
57:37of course. Once the interrogation begins, only the police will clarify that what documents
57:43he had, what exactly, why did he come to the camp office. Now, remember, that's the residence
57:47of chief minister, Mokhi Mantri, Jan, Seva, Sadhan. So everyone, and anyone who comes here,
57:54whatever grievances that they have, so there are Jan Sabhas being held. So inside, there are huge
57:59campers. Now, that's the CM's residence. And just besides CM's residence, there's a camp office.
58:03So all the chief ministers or the ministers, they have a camp office dedicated. Now, you see a massive
58:07deployment of Delhi police personals right outside the residence. Senior officials of Delhi police
58:12have also visited. The party leaders of the Delhi BJP unit have also been here. They met
58:20Rekha Gupta. And now, in the apparatus, so exactly, there is a peripheral area where you
58:25have the camp office. Now, all the camp office, look at these people. These are the people who
58:29often come at the, for the Jan Sunwai, for the Jan Sabha, Janata Sabha, whatever you call
58:35it. So they come here with their grievances. And then in the camp office, all the government
58:39department, they have their camp offices made. So respective complaints are then forwarded
58:45to the concerned department for the grievances redressal. Now, during that, what had happened,
58:49the person who came here, who landed here, had a bunch of these papers. And eventually,
58:53he was trying to go closer to the chief minister or the officials as close as possible. And eventually,
58:59when he failed, he started making noise. He literally shouted. And that alerted almost all
59:05the people, including the chief ministers or security operators. So by the time, anyone
59:09could go and hold of him or catch him, eventually, he engaged into assault. So, you know, if there
59:15is something planned or there is some kind of, looks like, you know, someone really planned
59:20for it. So eventually, when you planned it, of course, security operators, by the time,
59:23The motive remains to be one of the biggest questions at this given point, Ashutosh. Yes.
59:28Ashutosh, Amit, thank you for bringing us all those details.
