According to officials on Thursday, the six accused in the Parliament breach case were brought before the Counter Intelligence Unit (CIU) of the Special Cell of Delhi Police to verify whether the timeliness of events that each of them had previously claimed matched. All six of them, according to Delhi Police, were detained in five separate Special Cell units and subjected to constant grilling. The accused had earlier on Wednesday been turned over to the Counter Intelligence Unit, or CIU, for joint questioning. Manoranjan, Amol, Sagar, and Neelam are the four accused whose seven-day detention is about to end on Thursday.
Coming on the 22nd anniversary of the terror attack on Parliament in 2001, the security breach sent shockwaves throughout the country on December 13.
Two youths — Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D — jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during Zero Hour, setting off smoke cans and raising slogans before being overpowered by some members in the Upper House.
In a separate incident that unfolded simultaneously, two more protestors — Neelam (42) and Amol (25) — protested outside the Parliament holding similar gas canisters.
After being taken into custody at the scene, all four of them were brought before the court and placed under remand for a period of seven days in the Special Cell. Sources close to the investigation claim that in order to elaborate on their plan, the security breach suspects formed a WhatsApp group with seven or eight members. The entire plot to get past multiple security layers and into Parliament was shared by the accused on this WhatsApp group.
