On April 6, a 37-year-old businessman from Uttar Pradesh allegedly drove his car into the Delhi Assembly complex, leading to his arrest. The man, diagnosed with bipolar disorder, reportedly broke through Gate number 2 and left a bouquet in the vehicle of Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta before fleeing the scene. Following the incident, police registered a case against him, invoking charges of attempted murder, criminal intimidation, and damage to public property.
