THERE is no need to recreate the crime scene as the entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras, an official source said in connection with Parliament security breach case. “We have collected the footage of all the CCTVs there and teams are scanning them. We have also questioned the accused on the basis of the footage and so far there is no need to recreate the crime scene,” said the source. The two men, who managed to enter the Lok Sabha Hall from the visitors’ gallery on December 13, the 22nd anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack, have been identified as Manoranjan D and Sagar Sharma, both residents of Mysore.

 

While Manoranjan is an Engineering student from Karnataka, Sharma’s visitor’s pass was issued on the recommendation of Karnataka’s Mysore BJP MP, Pratap Simha. The other two, a man and a woman, who were protesting with coloured flares outside Parliament and were detained by Delhi Police, have been identified as Neelam, a resident of Jind in Haryana and Amol Shinde, a resident of Latur, Maharashtra.

 

The alleged mastermind of the Parliament security breach incident, Lalit Jha, who ran away with the phones of Manoranjan, Sharma, Neelam and Shinde, had surrendered at the Kartavya Path police station. Following his interrogation, the police have also arrested Mahesh Kumawat, the sixth accused in the case. The case, registered against them and Jha at Parliament Street police station, includes Sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 452 (trespassing), 153 (provocation with intent to cause a riot), 186 (obstructing public servants in the discharge of public functions), and 353 (criminal force to deter public servants from duty) of the IPC, along with UAPA.
