New Delhi, Oct 3 (PTI) A Delhi court on Saturday sought a status report from the city police on a complaint seeking registration of an FIR against Chief Minister Rekha Gupta over alleged remarks against government officials.
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ashwani Panwar noted that, according to the complainant, Gupta made the remarks on September 23, 2025, during an official government programme for the launch of DTC bus services from Delhi to Baraut in Uttar Pradesh at the Kashmiri Gate ISBT.
The court noted the complainant’s allegation that “during the public address, while purportedly threatening and admonishing government officials for not working systematically, the proposed accused (Gupta) made the following statement (or words to the same effect): These Hanumans remember their temporary powers only when their tail catches fire; before that they forget it.”
The court said the statement was allegedly made in a public forum during an official government programme and was widely heard by officials, attendees, and the public.
In its order, the magistrate said, “Let status report be called from the station house officer (SHO) of Kashmere Gate for next date of hearing.”
“Put up for filing of report and consideration on October 15 at 11:30 AM,” the magistrate added.
He directed that a copy of the order be sent to the SHO for compliance. PTI MNR RHL
