Parliament security breach: Six persons behind Parliament security breach; five detained; two intruders, two outside, one on run; all connected via social media; families unaware of plan.
While a total of six persons were behind the massive security breach at Parliament on Wednesday, two entered the House while two others set off coloured smoke canisters and chanted slogans outside the premises, Delhi Police sources said.
Five of them have been detained — the intruders, Sagar Sharma from Lucknow and Manoranjan from Mysuru; Amol Shinde from Latur and Neelam Devi from Hisar who were outside; and Vishal Sharma alias Vicky, originally from Hisar but currently a resident of Sector 7, Gurugram, at whose house all six had reportedly assembled on Tuesday. The sixth suspect is on the run.
During interrogation, police said the duo caught outside the House said that they were upset over issues pertaining to unemployment and price rise. No mobile phone has been recovered from the two nor did they carry any identity proofs.

Sources said they denied being affiliated with any political outfit and claimed to be students. All six were in touch with each other via social media applications and had known each other for more than three years, the duo told the police.
Families of Ms. Devi, Mr. Sagar, and Mr. Shinde denied any knowledge about their plan.
Ms. Devi’s brother, Ram Niwas, who lives in Jind, Haryana, told The Hindu that she had supported the stir against the Centre’s now-repealed farm laws in 2020-21 and had participated in the protests at their village, besides being vocal on issues such as unemployment. The family was not aware of her presence in Delhi as she was currently based in Hisar and preparing for competitive examinations.
