According to sources, Delhi Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena had given approval to prosecute the accused under sections 16 and 18 of the UAPA. The review committee had examined the evidence collected by the investigating agency and found prima facie a case under UAPA against the accused.

The incident occurred on December 13, 2023, when two individuals jumped into the Parliament chamber, causing chaos and smoke. The accused were found to have entered the Parliament with passes recommended by BJP MP Pratap Sinha.
