The Delhi Police on December 16 arrested Mahesh Kumawat, a co-conspirator of the security breach that unfolded in the Parliament on December 13. The 33-year-old associate of ‘mastermind’ of the act, Lalit Jha, Mr Kumawat is booked for conspiracy and destruction of evidence.
While seeking Mr Kumawat’s custody, the Delhi Police told Patiala House Court that the conspiracy behind the recent security breach in the Parliament was being planned for the last two years. The police added that the accused had multiple meetings in various Mysuru, Gurugram and Delhi and their sole aim was to create an anarchy and compel government to get their ‘illegal demands’ met.
The submissions were made by Public Prosecutor Akhand Pratap Singh in the court of Additional Sessions Judge (special judge NIA), Hardeep Kaur.
