Recalling the events of December 13, which marked the 22nd anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attacks, Prime Minister Modi provided details about the individuals involved in the breach. Two men, Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D, breached security by jumping into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during Zero Hour. The duo released yellow smoke from canisters and shouted slogans before being subdued by Members of Parliament. Concurrently, two others, Amol Shinde and Neelam Devi, released colored smoke outside the Parliament premises while shouting slogans. Lalit Jha, the fifth accused, allegedly disseminated videos of the protest on social media.
In a subsequent development, Mahesh Kumawat, the sixth accused, was apprehended by the police. Kumawat, who allegedly aided Jha in escaping, had been in contact with the other accused for the past two years, participating in the conspiracy. The police revealed that Kumawat had destroyed their mobile phones in an attempt to eliminate evidence. The arrest of Kumawat further underscores the ongoing efforts to address the incident comprehensively and bring those involved to justice.
