Parliament security breach: Court seeks response from Delhi Police on accused’s bail plea

Neelam Azad, the lone woman arrested in connection with the Parliament security breach case, had her bail application hearing in a Delhi court on Tuesday. The court presided over by Additional Sessions Judge Hardeep Kaur, directed the Delhi Police to submit their response to Azad’s bail plea by January 10. Additionally, the court postponed the hearing of an application filed by the police seeking approval to conduct polygraph tests on all six individuals apprehended in the case to January 5.

During the proceedings, it was observed that the legal aid counsel appointed by the judge to represent the accused was unavailable on that day. As a result, the court adjourned the matter. The police had presented all six arrested individuals—Neelam Azad, Manoranjan D, Sagar Sharma, Amol Dhanraj Shinde, Lalit Jha, and Mahesh Kumawat—before the court for the hearing related to the police application.

Presently, the accused remains in police custody until January 5. Public Prosecutor Akhand Pratap Singh, representing the Delhi Police, previously informed the court that the December 13 incident was a well-planned “attack.”

The security breach, reminiscent of the 2001 Parliament terror attack anniversary, involved Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D leaping from the public gallery into the Lok Sabha chamber during Zero Hour. They discharged yellow gas from canisters and shouted slogans before being subdued by some Members of Parliament.

Simultaneously, Amol Shinde and Neelam Azad, along with others, sprayed coloured gas from canisters while vocally expressing, “tanashahi nahi chalegi” (dictatorship will not prevail), outside the Parliament premises. The police apprehended these four individuals on the scene, while Lalit Jha and Mahesh Kumawat were arrested subsequently.

It’s important to note that the court proceedings and legal actions concerning the accused individuals continue, highlighting the gravity of the security breach incident at the Parliament premises.
