Police sources informed the Daily Guardian on Sunday that phone components belonging to the individuals implicated in the Parliament security breach incident have been located in Rajasthan. The sources further revealed that all the recovered phone parts were in a charred state. It’s important to note that the Delhi police have not yet managed to retrieve Lalit Jha’s phone.
Delhi police sources revealed earlier that Lalit Jha, the accused in the Parliament security breach incident, destroyed five mobile phones before arriving in Delhi and was misleading the investigating team.
Before the security breach, the four accused had handed over their phones to Jha to prevent crucial investigation details from reaching the police, anticipating their arrest. The police sources also said that
“Lalit Jha destroyed not four but five mobile phones after fleeing to Rajasthan’s Kuchaman.”
Earlier, Patiala House Court here on Saturday granted seven-day custody of Mahesh Kumawat, the sixth accused in the Parliament security breach case, to the police.
Delhi Police sought 15 days of custodial remand for accused Mahesh Kumawat. He is the sixth accused arrested in the case.
The other five accused, including Lalit Jha, have already been taken into police custody.
The Patiala House Court on Friday granted seven-day custody of Lalit Jha, the accused in the Parliament security breach case.
The security breach happened on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack on December 13.
Two people—Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D—jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during Zero Hour, released yellow gas from canisters, and shouted anti-establishment slogans before being overpowered by the MPs.
Outside it, in another incident, two protestors—Neelam (42) and Amol (25)—protested outside the Parliament with similar gas canisters. However, all four were sent to the seven-day custody of the Delhi Police Special Cell on Thursday.
