Sagar Sharma, D Manoranjan, Neelam Devi, and Amol Shinde were the four invaders who were apprehended shortly after the smoke alarm yesterday and were brought before a Delhi court today. Vicky Sharma, the fifth person the others met at his house in Gurugram, and his spouse were placed under arrest. They were set free late tonight.
Lalit Jha, a Bihari who is thought to be the mastermind, is the sixth person who is fugitive.
The police requested a 15-day detention period, claiming they required that time to transport the four to Lucknow (where the shoes used to smuggle the canisters were purchased) and Mumbai (where the smoke canisters were purchased), as well as to investigate potential “terrorist” connections. Additionally, the authorities implied that there might have been more participants in the smoke attack “because a common man cannot work with such planning”.
The police also informed the court that the parties’ motivations are still unknown. The four who detonated the canisters yesterday allegedly informed police that they intended to draw MPs’ attention to problems like as unemployment and ethnic conflict in Manipur.
The accused, who are charged under several sections of the Indian Penal Code and the strict anti-terror code UAPA, were only granted seven days of imprisonment by the court.
The mastermind, Jha, who is from Bihar and worked as a teacher in Kolkata prior to yesterday’s event, was last spotted close to Neemrana in Rajasthan, police sources informed earlier.
Jha, who was meant to be inside Parliament as well, fled after filming the protest outside and posting it to the internet without obtaining a visitor’s pass. Before running away, he also took the other people’s cell phones. Police think Jha would try to remove any evidence that might be on the devices.
Today marked the return of Parliament, however there were several adjournments due to protests by opposition MPs about the security lapse and their demands for answers from the Prime Minister or Home Minister Amit Shah.
More indignation has been sparked by the suspension of 14 opposition MPs, 13 of whom are Lok Sabha members, for the remainder of the Winter Session. Additionally, the government has come under fire from the protesting MPs for doing nothing to stop the MP who gave passes to the intruders.
In the meantime, new security procedures have been implemented and tightened for the Parliament as of last night. For the time being, admission is restricted to non-essential staff and prohibited to visitors.
The 22nd anniversary of a terrorist attack on the historic Parliament building, which claimed the lives of nine individuals, including eight security personnel, coincided with yesterday’s smoke alarm. There were five terrorists taken out.
