In a modest house in Gurugram’s housing board neighborhood, five individuals who later breached security at the Parliament spent the day. Vishal Sharma, a former private car driver, owns the house, and despite hosting the perpetrators, the police believe he may have had little knowledge of their plans.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Varun Dahiya stated that Sharma and his wife Brinda were questioned by the police and returned to Gurugram after Delhi Police found no evidence of their involvement. “They were unaware of their planning,” he added.
The house, a decades-old structure, became a temporary residence for Sagar Sharma, Manoranjan D, Neelam Singh, Amol Shinde, and Lalit Jha, who gathered in Delhi from different states for their audacious breach.
Sharma, who had previously worked as a motorbike rider in an export house, turned freelance driver due to health issues. Known for his revolutionary beliefs, he was acquainted with some of the attackers through protests. While aware of the Parliament protest, Sharma allegedly did not know it would happen inside the House.
As the investigation unfolds, the financial struggles and aggressive behavior of Sharma come to light, leaving the neighborhood in shock. The trauma extends to Sharma’s family, especially their 16-year-old daughter, who expressed her desire to study and become a doctor.
