"We made a blunder, please forgive us," plead Delhi CM's attackers in chargesheet

New Delhi Nov 4 (UNI) Sakariya Rajeshbhai Khimji (41), who allegedly attacked Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, has expressed remorse, stating, "I wanted to be famous and rich by killing Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. I made a huge mistake and I shouldn't have done it. Please pardon me." Khimji blamed the Chief Minister of capturing dogs across the city. This statement was included in the chargesheet filed by the Delhi Police.
Not only Khimji, but his co-accused, Tahsin Raja Rafiullah Shaikh alias Bapu, has also apologized for assisting in the assault on the Delhi CM. The chargesheet quotes Tahsin as saying, "This was indeed a blunder that we made. I apologise. Please forgive me." Both the individuals are currently in jail after their bail pleas were rejected by the court. The magisterial court has transferred the case to the Sessions Court, as the offences they are charged with are triable by a Sessions Court.
According to the chargesheet, Khimji's motive stemmed from an extreme fixation on dog welfare. The document states that the sequence of events was triggered by a dream he had at his temple. "I saw a dog next to a Shivling in my dream. It told me that dogs in Delhi are very troubled," Khimji told investigators. Acting on this vision, Khimji traveled from his home in Gujarat to the Mahakal Temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, to seek divine permission. In a strange ritual, he wrote 'Yes' and 'No' on two slips of paper and offered them to the deity.
