Parliament Security Breach: Delhi Police Arrest Sixth Accused Mahesh Kumawat

The Delhi Police on Saturday arrested the 6th accused in the Parliament security breach. According to the reports, the accused has been identified as Mahesh Kumawat, who was on the run since the security breach. His other five allies were detained by the police soon after the incident. Two accused had entered the jumped into the area where Members of the Parliament sit from the public viewers' gallery and busted the color smoke bombs.

Coincidently, the security breach happened on the same day, December 13, when Parliament was attacked a decade ago. Thankfully, it was not a big attack, and miscreants only wanted to raise issues like women's security, inhumanity going on in Manipur, no support to farmers, and unemployment, said one of the accused while speaking to the media.

As per the Delhi police sources, Kumawat was also part of the conspiracy and has been held for providing logistical aid to his allies for entering the Lok Sabha.

Earlier, the Delhi police arrested two men from inside the Lok Sabha, and a man and woman from outside the Parliament. Later on Thursday, one more accused Lalit Jha surrendered at the Kartavya Path Police Station.

According to the reports, Mahesh's cousin Kailash was also questioned, but the police have not arrested him so far.

Reports added that all the accused were connected through a social media platform and were following a page called 'Fans of Bhagat Singh.'

Reacting to the serious incident, the Opposition is attacking the government and demanding an explanation from Union Home Minister Amit Shah. A few members of parliament from the opposition also demanded Shah's resignation following the Parliament security breach.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said whatever happened was wrong, but the government should look at why this happened and what those men wanted to communicate.

On the other hand, Amit Shah, in an interview, said there should be no politics done over this sensitive issue.
