Parliament Breach Investigation: Delhi Court Grants More Time

A city court in New Delhi has granted the Delhi Police an additional 13 days to complete their investigation into a major security breach in the Parliament. The breach involved four individuals releasing colored gases and shouting slogans during Zero Hour, causing considerable alarm and chaos.

A city court Friday granted more time to the Delhi Police to complete its invitation into the Parliament security breach case.

Additional Sessions Judge Hardeep Kaur granted 13 more days to the police on an application that certain reports were awaited and digital data was voluminous.

Police had urged the judge to grant three more months to complete the probe.

In a major security breach on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack, two persons -- Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D -- jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during Zero Hour in 2023, released yellow gas from canisters and shouted slogans before being overpowered by the MPs.

Around the same time, two other accused -- Amol Shinde and Azad -- also sprayed coloured gas from canisters while shouting ''tanashahi nahi chalegi'' outside the Parliament premises.
