In a significant development, parts of mobile phones belonging to all accused involved in the Parliament security breach case have been traced to Rajasthan, as reported by news agency ANI, citing Delhi Police sources. The phones, allegedly under the control of the purported ‘mastermind’ Lalit Mohan Jha, were discovered in a burnt condition.
Delhi Police sources disclosed that Lalit Mohan Jha had destroyed five mobile phones, misleading the investigative team. Contrary to initial reports of four phones being damaged, it was revealed that Lalit Jha destroyed five devices before reaching Delhi, further complicating the ongoing investigation.
It has been uncovered that Lalit Jha initially disposed of the phones of the four co-accused, and subsequently destroyed his own device before arriving in Delhi. This deliberate act of misdirection has prompted the investigation team to seek information from the cellular company regarding Lalit and the remaining four accused.
Earlier revelations from the Delhi Police indicated that the accused had contemplated the extreme act of self-immolation, applying fire-resistant gel on their bodies for a more dramatic impact without causing harm. However, they eventually abandoned this plan, opting for the disruptive strategy of entering the Lok Sabha chamber with smoke canisters, shouting slogans, and creating chaos.
The two individuals who breached the Lok Sabha chamber were overpowered by MPs after releasing yellow smoke, while two others released colored smoke outside the Parliament premises, accompanied by anti-authoritarian slogans. Lalit Jha, the fifth accused, allegedly circulated videos of the protest on social media platforms.
The investigation remains ongoing, with the Delhi Police diligently pursuing leads and seeking cooperation from cellular providers to piece together the events leading up to the security breach.
