Lok Sabha Security Breach: Details Emerge on 6 Individuals Involved in the Incident

In the recent security breach at the Indian Parliament on December 13, reports suggest the involvement of six individuals. Two individuals caused disruption within the lower house (Lok Sabha), two created chaos outside near Transport Bhavan, and two others are currently evading authorities but are believed to have provided shelter to the main perpetrators and devised the plan.

Who is Sagar Sharma?

Sagar Sharma, the son of Shankarlal Sharma, and Manoranjan D., a resident of Mysore, Karnataka, have been identified as the primary culprits who scaled the public gallery fence and entered among lawmakers, releasing yellow smoke canisters.

Initial police accounts and eyewitnesses indicate that they had concealed the canisters in their shoes.

The duo chanted slogans opposing dictatorship during the disturbance. Notably, Manoranjan holds an engineering degree in computer science from Vivekanand University in Bengaluru.

Both individuals were issued visitor passes in the name of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lawmaker Pratap Simha from Mysuru constituency.

In addition to the parliamentary breach, police detained two protesters, a man and a woman, in front of Transport Bhawan, where they were using colored smoke for protest.

The woman, identified as Neelam from Hisar, Haryana, was preparing for the Haryana civil services exam and was reportedly staying at a PG in Hisar.

Some unverified reports suggest her involvement in the farmer’s protest. The man, Amol Shinde from Latur district in Maharashtra, was also taken into custody.

All six individuals had reportedly stayed together in Gurugram at the residence of Lalit Jha, who is currently absconding. The sixth person remains unidentified and is also on the run.

The attack of 2001

This incident unfolded on the same day as the 2001 parliament attack, where terrorists laid siege to the building, resulting in the death of 14 people and injuring 16 others.

Despite heightened security around the parliament complex and prior threats, including from Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, the group managed to infiltrate one of the country’s most secure institutions.
