Parliament security breach: Delhi court sends four accused to seven-day police custody

New Delhi: A Delhi court on Thursday sent four accused arrested in the Parliament security breach case to seven days of police custody.

The accused persons—Sagar Sharma, Manoranjan D., Neelam Verma and Amol Shinde—were produced before Patiala House Court Additional Sessions Judge Hardeep Kaur after they were arrested by the police on Wednesday following the incident.

Delhi Police has registered an FIR against the accused under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and is investigating the security lapse.

The two accused, Sharma and Manoranjan D., had jumped from the audience gallery in the Lok Sabha during the Zero Hour proceedings. Both released yellow smoke into the House; however, the MPs caught them and handed them over to security officials.

The Union Home Ministry has ordered a probe into the Parliament security breach under DG CRPF Anish Dayal Singh along with members and experts from other security agencies.
