Parliament Security Breach: Two More Detained; Delhi Police to Recreate Crime Scene

The Delhi Police’s Special Cell on Friday detained two more people in connection with the Parliament security breach on Wednesday, involving two persons — Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D — who jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber and released yellow gas from canisters creating panic among the MPs.

The two detained individuals have been identified as Mahesh and Kailash, both residents of Rajasthan and have an alleged association with a social media group called “Justice for Azad Bhagat Singh”.

Lalit Jha, a Kolkata resident alleged to be the key conspirator in the breach case, was detained by the Delhi Police after he surrendered on Thursday. Notably, Amol Shinde and Neelam Devi, who sprayed coloured gas from canisters while shouting “Tanashahi Nahi Chalegi” outside Parliament premises were already taken into custody along with Sagar and Manoranjan on Wednesday.

Police to Probe Foreign Link

The police in their remand plea to the court informed that they are also probing if there is any foreign connection in the case. “Actual motive behind the attack and Lalit’s association with any other enemy country as well as terrorist organisations are being probed,” police informed the court.

The Special Cell of the Delhi Police will be recreating the scene of Wednesday’s Parliament security breach by taking the accused to the Parliament complex on Saturday or Sunday, news agency ANI reported citing its sources. The accused will be taken to Parliament to recreate the scene of the crime. This will help the police to find out how the accused entered the Parliament building with colour spray and how they executed their plan.

Someone Motivated Them, Scope of Probe to be Widened, Say Sources

The scope of the investigation into Wednesday’s security breach at Parliament will be widened as the ideology of the intruders alone could not have instigated them to jump into the chamber of the Lok Sabha with canisters of yellow gas, top intelligence sources told News18.

According to sources privy to the investigation, the quartet were aware of the repercussions of such a display of protest in Parliament. “There is someone who motivated them to go to this extent and this person is never seen in the picture. Lalit Mohan Jha is alleged to be the mastermind behind the plan, but he also possibly did all this on behalf of someone else,” a source said. READ MORE
