Lalit Jha, the purported mastermind behind on Wednesday’s Parliament security breach, arrested late on Thursday night. Subsequently, he was handed over to the Special Cell of Delhi Police, as per reports.
In addition to it, the Delhi Patiala House Court on Thursday ordered a seven-day police custody for the four accused—Manoranjan D, Sagar Sharma, Neelam Verma, and Amol Shinde—apprehended for breaching security in the Lok Sabha premises. Charged under sections of the UAPA, the police produced the four accused before the court with a plea for a 15-day custody, emphasising the need for a comprehensive investigation into the broader conspiracy surrounding their actions.
Public Prosecutor Atul Srivastava, during the hearing, highlighted a concerning detail that the accused were found in possession of a pamphlet portraying the Prime Minister as a missing person. “The accused have shown reward to be paid by the Swiss bank,” he said.
