On Friday, the Delhi Court granted permission to the Delhi Police to conduct polygraph tests on five out of the six individuals detained in relation to the Parliament security breach.

Judge Hardeeep Kaur, presiding over the case, extended the custody of all the accused by eight days. Additionally, she authorized the investigating officer to carry out polygraph tests on Manoranjan D, Sagar Sharma, Amol Dhanraj Shinde, Lalit Jha, and Mahesh Kumawat.

Taking into account the consent of the accused individuals—except Neelam Azad—the court issued the order to proceed with their polygraph tests. The judge issued the order in response to a police application requesting authorization to conduct polygraph tests on all the accused individuals.

During the Zero Hour on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack on December 13, a significant security breach occurred when two individuals, namely Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D, leaped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery.

They discharged yellow gas from canisters, shouted slogans, and were subsequently subdued by the Members of Parliament.

Simultaneously, at a similar juncture, two other accused, Dhanraj Shinde and Neelam Azad, discharged colored gas from canisters while vocalizing the slogan "tanashahi nahi chalegi" ("dictatorship will not prevail") outside the Parliament premises.
