December 14, 2023: Several details about the persons who were detained in connection to the parliament security breach incident have been revealed. The intruders are said to be associated with the social media page ‘Bhagat Singh Fan Club’.
A security breach was reported inside the Lok Sabha on Wednesday as two persons carrying smoke canisters jumped into the chamber from the visitors’ gallery. The incident comes on the 22nd anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack where nine people, including eight security personnel, had died in the attack in which all five Pakistan-sponsored terrorists were killed. A woman was also detained for protesting outside the Parliament building carrying cans that emitted a yellowish smoke.
According to police sources, everyone met in Mysuru about one and a half years ago. The intruder Sagar came from Lucknow in July but could not go inside the parliament house. On December 10, everyone reached Delhi from their respective states and met near India Gate. Both the Facebook accounts of Sagar have not been active for several months. His accounts revealed that Sagar was in contact with many people from Kolkata, Rajasthan and Haryana via Facebook.
Sagar’s family said that he left his home two days ago to take part in a ‘protest’ in Delhi but they were unaware about the involvement in the Parliament security breach.
