Today’s invasion of Parliament comes 22 years after a terror attack on the ancient building murdered nine people, including eight security staff.
Six people were involved in the planning and execution of a significant security breach in Parliament on Wednesday, police sources told this evening, raising a barrage of concerns about the new building’s security mechanisms. According to reports, there are at least five levels of screening. Sagar Sharma and D Manoranjan used yellow smoke canisters inside the Lok Sabha, while Neelam Devi and Amol Shinde used red and yellow canisters outside the Parliament. The fifth has been identified as Lalit Jha, whose Gurgaon residence the other five stayed at. The sixth individual has not been identified; he or she, along with Lalit Jha, are on the run. According to preliminary investigations, the two individuals who burst the smoke cans within the Lok Sabha are from Mysuru, Karnataka, and Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh (Sagar Sharma). (D Manoranjan). Neelam Devi, the person who was caught outside Parliament, is from Hisar in Haryana, while Amol Shinde is from Latur in Maharashtra. The office of BJP MP Pratap Sinha requested access tickets for Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan, who were seated in the visitors’ gallery of the Lok Sabha before to initiating this horrifying interruption.
The Mysuru congressman representing the ruling party, Mr. Simha, has announced that he will meet with Speaker Om Birla of the Lok Sabha to discuss his stance on the pass requests that his office has forwarded. The six connected online and devised this strategy together, according to the authorities. As of right now, there’s no proof that any terror outfit radicalised them. Aadhaar cards of Sagar Sharma and D Manoranjan have been made public by the police, along with some more information. It has been discovered that Neelam Devi, 42, is a teacher preparing for the civil services.
Neelam’s brother claims that although she is unaffiliated with any political party, she participated enthusiastically in the contentious farmers’ protest in 2020 against the government’s three farm policies.
The attack on the ancient building that resulted in the deaths of nine individuals, including eight security staff, occurred 22 years prior to today’s assault of Parliament. In addition, it comes after terrorist from Khalistani, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, threatened to carry out an attack that would “shake the very foundation of Parliament”.
What Was the Smoke Attack in Parliament?
During the Zero Hour session of the Lok Sabha on Wednesday afternoon, Sagar Sharma leaped from the visitors’ gallery and entered the chamber. In amazing images, he shot off a yellow smoke canister and leaped from desk to desk in an attempt to get to the Lok Sabha Speaker’s Chair. After being overcome and taken prisoner by MPs, he was severely beaten by multiple of them. Manoranjan, his accomplice, stayed in the gallery and opened a smoke canister as well, maybe to divert attention.
Neelam Devi and Amol Shinde blew off smoke canisters outside, spewing red and yellow smoke while yelling anti-dictatorial chants just before the security scare inside Parliament. After being taken into custody, the anti-terror cell is questioning all four of them. Mr. Birla reassured the lawmakers, who were understandably concerned for their safety following this occurrence, that a comprehensive inquiry would be conducted. “All have been caught and the materials with them have been seized.”
Later on, the Lower House was postponed until Thursday at 11 a.m.
