In a significant turn of events, the Special Cell of the Delhi Police has formally approached the Patiala House Court, petitioning for permission to administer polygraph tests on all individuals accused in the recent Parliament security breach. The court is scheduled to deliberate on this matter on January 2, 2024.
Lalit Jha, purportedly the mastermind behind the security breach, remains in custody with an extended remand until January 5, 2024. During a detailed interrogation session, Jha disclosed the elaborate planning that preceded the breach, highlighting the considerable challenge of acquiring an entry pass for Parliament.
The breach unfolded on December 13, involving two individuals who clandestinely entered the Lok Sabha chamber. Subsequently, they released gas canisters and vocalized anti-establishment slogans during the Zero Hour. Concurrently, two protestors staged a similar demonstration outside Parliament. All four individuals were promptly apprehended and placed in seven-day custody by the Delhi Police Special Cell.
In a late-night interrogation session, Lalit Jha shared further insights, admitting to months of strategic planning for the security breach. He revealed that securing an entry pass for Parliament was a pivotal concern during the planning phase. Jha remained vigilant about developments and police movements through continuous monitoring of news channels.
To facilitate a comprehensive investigation, the Delhi Police Special Cell has organized six teams, each assigned to locations associated with the accused in Lucknow, Mysore, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Haryana.
This unfolding story underscores the meticulous nature of the security breach plot and the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to unravel the extent of the conspiracy.
