However, the man has reportedly identified himself as a 41-year-old during questioning, but the information is being verified. He approached the CM with a piece of paper during the public hearing, then raised his voice at her, used expletives, and then allegedly slapped her.The attacker was overpowered by the security staff present at the event, and has been detained.Apart from Atishi, Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav also reacted to the attack, calling it unfortunate, but also saying the incident “exposes” the state of women's safety."CM leads the entire Delhi, and I think that the more such incidents are condemned, the less it is.
