Digital Desk: The ongoing probe into the parliament security breach has revealed intriguing details about the main accused.
According to police sources, all of the accused were members of the social media website 'Bhagat Singh Fan Club,' where they first met about a year and a half ago in Mysuru. Sagar, who arrived in July from Lucknow, was unable to enter the Parliament House.
They gathered near India Gate on December 10, where coloured crackers were distributed. The authorities are questioning them carefully to identify the mastermind, with preliminary evidence indicating the involvement of another person.
According to police officials, the dramatic breach in Parliament on Wednesday was the culmination of at least 18 months of meticulous planning and multiple meetings among the accused, all of whom hailed from various states but shared one common link - a social media website dubbed the "Bhagat Singh Fan Club."
Sagar Sharma, who lived in Lucknow's Manaknagar neighbourhood, was allegedly motivated by left-wing ideology and actively participated in debates on two Facebook pages. Sagar's Facebook profiles have been inactive for several months, but investigations reveal that he has contacts with people in Kolkata, Rajasthan, and Haryana.
Sagar's family, which includes his father, mother, and younger sister and is originally from Uttar Pradesh's Unnao area, has chosen a hidden place after locking their house in Lucknow, where they've lived for nearly two decades.
Himanshu, the owner of the electric rickshaw which Sagar drove, characterised him as a responsible and committed worker who adhered to his work schedule. Sagar's relatives, who were ignorant of his role in the Parliament security breach, stated that he had left for a "protest" in Delhi two days prior.
Sagar's maternal uncle, on the other hand, expressed his doubts, claiming that he feels Sagar is being framed and that he is a simple lad caught up in a wider scheme.
Anuj Kumar Sharma, another e-rickshaw driver, praised Sagar, praising his excellent nature and lack of disputes in the neighbourhood.
Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D jumped from the visitors' gallery into the Lok Sabha chamber during the Zero Hour, about 1 p.m., on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack. Both deployed yellow smoke canisters, and Sharma jumped over desks towards the Speaker's Chair before being overpowered and beaten up by MPs.
Following that, the Delhi Police Special Cell opened an investigation under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, and the Ministry of Home Affairs ordered an investigation into the security breach. The event, which occurred on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror assault, has prompted severe worries about parliamentary security vulnerabilities.
Sharma and Manoranjan entered the Parliament complex around noon and jumped into the chamber around an hour later, officials said. They have been arrested, along with Neelam and Shinde, and Vicky Sharma and his wife have been detained.
Lalit Jha ran away with the cellphones of everyone involved in the breach after shooting some videos of Neelam and Shinde deploying the canisters, and efforts are on to trace him.
The four people who have been arrested have been charged under the stringent anti-terror law Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, as well as sections related to criminal conspiracy and promoting enmity, among others, of the Indian Penal Code. They are all being questioned.
