Parl security breach: Delhi Police Special Cell gets 7-day remand of 4 accused persons

While Opposition members raised a ruckus in both Houses of the Parliament over the massive security breach on Wednesday, Delhi Police claimed a “well-planned conspiracy” behind the incident on Thursday. While Delhi Police moved the Patiala House Court, seeking a 15-day remand for the four accused persons in the security breach case, the latter granted a remand of 7 days to the Special Cell. Meanwhile, labelling the security breach as a fallout of a “well-planned conspiracy”, Delhi Police said it was an “attack on the Parliament of India”. The four accused persons — Neelam, Amol, Sagar Sharma, and Manoranjan — were produced before the Patiala House Court while Delhi Police filed a remand plea. Sharing details of the incident, in which two unidentified men jumped into the Lok Sabha during the Zero Hour from the visitors’ gallery and set off smoke cans that they hid in their shoes, Delhi Police stated in an official release, “All accused yesterday entered the Parliament using visitor passes and jumped from the gallery, which resulted in the hindrance during the Parliament proceedings.” “They used smoke canisters which they carried into the parliament veiled in their shoes,” the police added. During the proceedings in court, the counsel for the police submitted, “The accused carried a pamphlet that showed and declared Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a missing person, adding whoever finds him would be paid a cash reward from the Swiss bank. The accused projected the PM as a proclaimed offender.” The police stated in their plea that the accused needed to be taken to Lucknow, Mumbai, and Mysore for custodial interrogation. “We need them to take to Lucknow, Mumbai, and Mysore since we need their custodial interrogation,” Delhi Police stated in its plea. @@@
