A significant security breach occurred inside the Lok Sabha on the 22nd anniversary of the Parliament terror assault when two attackers broke in during Zero Hour by entering the House chamber from the guest gallery. They yelled slogans and let out yellow gas from canisters before MPs subdued them. Outside the Parliament buildings, two people—a lady among them—spray-painted gas and yelled slogans at the same time.
Vishal Sharma, the 5th suspect in a major security breach of the Lok Sabha, has been arrested and charged under the anti-terror law UAPA. Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D, who hatched the plan, entered the Lok Sabha from the visitors’ gallery and sprayed yellow gas.
Amol Shinde and Neelam Devi were found protesting outside Parliament. Vishal, who stayed with the four, was arrested. The security breach, on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack, raised concerns about the security system of the new Parliament building. The opposition has turned the heat on the BJP for the massive breach. The Delhi police special cell has registered cases under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and sections 120B and 452 of the Indian Penal Code.
6 Men found guilty; Identities and Objectives Revealed
Although the six defendants came from various states, they were acquainted. Their family members were unaware of their Wednesday activities in Parliament. They are all jobless. Amol informed police that the Manipur crisis, unemployment, and farmers’ protests were the reasons behind their outrage during the first probe.
Whether or if they were employed by any organization is still unknown. Neelam said that he had completed his MA, B.ED, M.Ed, and M.Phil, and cleared the NET before beginning to study for competitive tests. Amol resides in Latur, Maharashtra. Manoranjan D hails from the constituency of Pratap Simha, Mysusu. Through social networking, they have been acquainted with one another for the past four years.
What happened during the 2023 Security Breach of Parliament?
The Lok Sabha in Parliament experienced a security breach on Wednesday, with two youths jumping from the visitor gallery and shouting slogans. This incident is a coincidence with a terrorist attack on December 13, 22 years ago. Associate Editor Shishir Sinha, a witness, recounts the breach during Zero Hour, releasing yellow smoke and shouting against the dictatorship. The chaos led to the arrest of four individuals, two inside and two outside the Parliament.
Sinha, a prominent figure on roster duty, was involved in a security breach involving 40-50 MPs, including a few ministers. The intruders attempted to approach the front row, highlighting the professional nature of the incident and drawing parallels to his 2001 terror attack. Sinha emphasized the need for increased security measures, such as barcode readers and holograms on passes, to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Enhanced security procedures for the parliament; 2023 parliament assault
Significant modifications to the Parliament’s security procedures were seen on Thursday in the wake of a serious security breach. Among the strict measures implemented are requirements for anybody entering the premises to remove their shoes. Although they thoroughly screen all newcomers within the school, security officers at the exterior gates now demand that shoes be taken off.
The Lok Sabha security measures have been enhanced following the arrest of Manoranjan D and Sagar Sharma, who breached the security and jumped from the gallery. The enhanced security measures apply uniformly to Parliament staff and accredited media personnel, and a restriction has been imposed on media, requiring them to stand 50-60 meters away from the ‘Makar Dwar’ entry gate. Four persons were apprehended under the Anti-terror Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) in connection with the security breach at Parliament.
How Manorajan and Sagar were able to enter the Parliament of India?
Sagar and Manorajan D leaped from the visitors’ gallery into the Lok Sabha. They began to shoot yellow gas from the hidden canister within the shoe. Pratap Simha, the MP for Mysuru, gave them the pass. The Lok Sabha members’ handbook states that only Members of Parliament are authorized to arrange visitor permits.
Upon obtaining one, they must attest that they are personally acquainted with the visitor and fully responsible for them.
