In a major security breach on the 22nd anniversary of the attack on the Indian Parliament, two men jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitors’ gallery on December 13 afternoon, carrying canisters emitting yellow smoke. Amidst the chaos, Parliamentarians apprehended the two intruders, beating them up before handing them over to the security staff.
Delhi police sources said that six people involved in the incident have been identified, and five detained, including two who set off canisters and shouted slogans outside Parliament, and a Gurugram resident in whose home they all stayed on December 12 night. A senior Delhi police officer said that they have not found any terror angle to the incident, calling it a political protest though no links to any political party have been found as yet. Investigations are still underway.
