Masked Man Arrested Hours After Breaching Delhi Assembly And Leaving Bouquet Inside

A masked man who drove into the Delhi Assembly premises by breaking through a security gate on Monday afternoon has been arrested after triggering a major security scare in the national capital.

The incident caused alarm because it came just days after the Assembly received bomb threats during the recently concluded budget session. Officials later confirmed that no explosive or suspicious object was found in the bouquet he left behind.

Security Breach Triggers Panic At Delhi Assembly

The breach took place at around 2 pm when a car with a Uttar Pradesh registration number forced its way through Gate No. 2 of the Delhi Assembly complex. The vehicle entered through the VIP entrance, where CRPF personnel were deployed as part of the security arrangement.

The car involved was a Tata Sierra bearing registration number UP-26 AZ 8090. According to officials, the driver rammed through the boundary gate, entered the premises, and briefly stopped after crossing the security barrier, creating immediate panic inside the high-security zone.

Driver Left Bouquet Near Speaker's Office Before Escaping

After entering the Assembly premises, the masked man stepped out of the vehicle in an unusual sequence of events that left security personnel stunned. He was carrying a bouquet and a bag, while marigold garlands were seen around his neck.

"The driver proceeded towards the office of Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta and placed a flower bouquet near the porch before retreating," a Delhi Secretariat official said.

Sources said the man also sat inside the Speaker's car, placed the bouquet there, and then fled the premises before he could be intercepted. The dramatic act raised immediate concerns over whether the bouquet or the bag contained any suspicious material, especially given the recent bomb threats received by the Assembly.

Massive Search Operation Leads To Arrest

Soon after the incident, security agencies launched an intense search operation to track down the accused. After several hours, police arrested the man and seized the vehicle.

He has been identified as Sarabjit Singh. Officials said the Tata Sierra used in the breach was recovered from Roop Nagar, a densely populated residential area in North Delhi.

The arrest brought some relief after the unprecedented breach exposed glaring concerns over security at one of the most sensitive government premises in the capital.

Bomb Squad Checks Bouquet, No Suspicious Object Found

Following the scare, a bomb disposal squad was rushed to the Assembly premises to inspect the bouquet and surrounding area. Officials said no explosive or suspicious object has been found inside the bouquet so far.

Even so, the timing of the incident has made it especially sensitive, as it occurred close on the heels of bomb threats that had been sent to the Delhi Assembly during its recently concluded budget session.

The episode is now likely to raise serious questions over the effectiveness of security arrangements at the Delhi Assembly, particularly at VIP entry points where heavily guarded access is expected to prevent exactly such breaches.
