How Delhi Police Arrested Parliament Security Breach Mastermind Lalit Jha?

Lalit Mohan Jha, a key accused in the Parliament security breach incident, was arrested on Thursday evening. He surrendered before the Kartavya Path Police station.

After making a video of the incident, Jha escaped from the spot and spent the night with two friends in Nagaur in Rajasthan before returning to Delhi.

"Lalit Jha reached Nagaur in Rajasthan by bus. There he met his two friends and spent the night in a hotel. When he realized that the police were searching for him, he came back to Delhi by bus," ANI quoted the Delhi Police as saying.

On the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack on Wednesday, the Parliament witnessed a major security breach after two men -- Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D -- jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during Zero Hour. They sprayed yellow smoke from canisters and shouted slogans before being overpowered by MPs.

Outside the Parliament, two others, including a woman, raised slogans and released yellow smoke from canisters, prompting police to round up the duo. It was a well-coordinated, meticulously planned incident carried out by six people. The cops have now arrested all six people who have become friends through social media.

Sagar, Manoranjan, Amol and Neelam were nabbed from the incident spot, while their accomplice Vishal, in whose house they stayed before reaching Parliament, was detained from Gurugram.

On the other hand, Delhi's Patiala House Court has granted seven days custodial remand of four accused persons arrested in connection with the Parliament security breach matter.

On Thursday, Additional Sessions Judge Dr Hardeep Kaur granted permission for the four accused, namely Manoranjan D, Sagar Sharma, Amol Dhanraj Shinde, and Neelam Devi, to travel to Mumbai, Mysore, and Lucknow for investigations aimed at uncovering the true motives behind their actions.

As per the Delhi Police, the accused individuals had acquired specialized shoes from Lucknow and canisters from Mumbai.

Police lawyers additionally presented that the accused individuals were in possession of a pamphlet in which they declared Prime Minister Modi as a missing person, offering a reward to whoever located him, with the funds allegedly sourced from the Swiss Bank.

The accused individuals portrayed the Prime Minister as if he were a proclaimed offender. The police informed the court that they had filed an FIR under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code, including the addition of sections 16 (terrorism) and 18 (conspiracy for terrorism) of the UAPA Act.
