Lok Sabha security breach: Hours after a major security breach in the Lower House of the Parliament, the security protocols are overhauled with strict measures to reduce any contact between MPs and visitors. As per a report by NDTV, separate entrances will be allotted to MPs, staff members, and press while the visitors will be allowed only from the fourth gate. To be sure, the visitor’s passes are suspended after the breach and it will take a while before visitors will be allowed back into the Parliament.
Moreover, the report also mentioned the arrangements to encase the visitor’s galley with glass in order to avoid people jumping into the chamber. The authorities will also set up body scan machines in the security apparatus of the Parliament with a substantial increase in the number of security personnel.
According to a India Today report, both the Houses of Parliament will now have their own security directors and the CRPF is going to be the in-charge of security of the outer ring.
Well planned strategy
Delhi Police sources on Wednesday revealed that six people planned the intrusion inside Lok Sabha and while all six wanted to get into Parliament, only 2 got visitor passes. “Security agencies trying to find if the six accused were instructed by anyone or organisation to breach Parliament security,” sources told PTI.
The police arrested four people on Wednesday. While Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan were arrested from inside the Parliament building, Neelam and Amol Shinde were protesting outside the Transport Bhawan.
As per the sources, the accused laid out a well-planned strategy to intrude into Parliament and their motives still remain unclear. “The six accused knew each other for four years. They hatched the plan a few days ago and even did recce,” sources said.
Families express shock
The families of the accused also expressed shock over the incident with Manoranjan’s father saying that his son should be “hanged if he has done something wrong for the society.” Manoranjan’s father also mentioned BJP MP Pratap Simha, who issued the visitor passes to the accused is their local MP and the family shares a good relationship with them.
Meanwhile, Neelam’s mother said that her daughter was worried about unemployment. “I had spoken with her but she never told me anything about Delhi. She used to tell me that she is so highly qualified but has no job, so it is better to die…” she said.
