Parliament Security Breach: Delhi Court Remands Four Accused To Further 15 Days Police Custody

A Delhi Court on Thursday remanded four accused to further 15 days of police custody in a UAPA case registered against them by the Delhi Police over recent security breach in the Parliament.

Additional Sessions Judge Hardeep Kaur of Patiala House Courts passed the order after the accused persons were produced in court after expiry of their seven days of police custody.

The Delhi Police sought 15 days of custody remand for the accused persons, who are Sagar Sharma, Manoranjan D, Neelam Verma and Amol Shinde.

They were remanded to seven days of police custody on December 14.

Other co accused persons Lalit Jha and Mahesh Kumawat have also been remanded to seven days of police custody remand which is expiring this week.

In a major security breach on the anniversary of 2001 Parliament terror attack, two persons jumped into the chamber of Lok Sabha from the public gallery when the Zero Hour was in session. The duo was identified as Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D.

In the photographs and videos that surfaced on social media, the two were seen holding canisters which released yellow gas. They were also shouting slogans. However, they were overpowered by some of the Member of Parliaments (MPs).

Two other accused, identified as Amol Shinde and Neelam Devi, also sprayed coloured gas from similar canisters outside the premises of the Parliament. They were reportedly shouting "tanashahi nahi chalegi.”
