New Delhi, The Delhi Police investigation into the recent Parliament security breach on December 13 has unveiled a meticulous plan orchestrated by the accused over several months through secure messaging app Signal. This choice of communication aimed at evading detection, as Signal is considered more secure than other popular messenger services.
Surprisingly, the accused, identified as Sagar Sharma, D Manoranjan, Neelam Singh, and Amol Shinde, opted for Signal instead of more commonly used platforms. Investigators, now armed with contact lists and texts obtained from local service providers, are scanning for additional clues.
While the accused claim their intrusion was to protest against the “system,” police are exploring the possibility of a larger conspiracy. Speculation arises whether the breach was orchestrated at the behest of a political instigator aiming to embarrass the Union government.
Contrary to initial suggestions, investigators dismiss the idea that the individuals planned self-immolation in the Parliament complex. However, the decision to entrust all phones to another arrested individual, Lalit Jha, raises suspicions of a broader conspiracy.
A top police investigator stated, “The idea of recruiting individuals from different parts of the country with diverse backgrounds under the Bhagat Singh Fan Club page suggests proper guidance and planning. Interrogations are ongoing, and breakthroughs are expected through contradictions.”
Parliament security, currently managed by a director (security) due to a vacant joint secretary (security) position for the past year and a half, witnessed the suspension of eight security personnel in the aftermath of the incident.
