Vijender Gupta, the newly elected BJP MLA from Rohini, has formally requested Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena to restore the “sheesh mahal,” previously the official residence of former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, located at 6 Flagstaff Road, Civil Lines, back to its original state.

In a letter addressed to the LG, Gupta accused Kejriwal of illegally transforming his official residence into a lavish “sheesh mahal” using taxpayer money, describing this act as both unethical and unlawful.

He claimed that the alterations were made without the necessary official approval or compliance with established procedures, resulting in an expansion of the property from 10,000 square meters to 50,000 square meters, thereby encroaching on neighboring government properties.

Gupta emphasized that this constituted not only a breach of government regulations but also a gross misuse of public funds. Criticizing Kejriwal, he remarked, “The former Chief Minister presented himself as a man of the people, yet he channeled public resources into constructing a grand palace. Is this the same Arvind Kejriwal who once promoted simplicity and integrity prior to taking office?”

He also called for a thorough investigation into the matter, urging that it be expedited so that the residents of Delhi can witness how the self-styled ‘honest’ Kejriwal squandered their hard-earned money on his opulent residence, Gupta concluded.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
