Yesterday, the Delhi court ordered the transfer of the six individuals apprehended in connection with the Parliament security breach case to judicial custody, extending it until January 27.
Following the conclusion of their police remand, Additional Sessions Judge Hardeep Kaur directed the placement of Manoranjan D, Sagar Sharma, Lalit Jha, Amol Shinde, Mahesh Kumawat, and Neelam Azad in judicial custody.
The judge issued the order in response to a request filed by the Delhi Police, seeking judicial custody for all the accused individuals, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation.
In the course of the hearing, accused Neelam Azad claimed before the court that a female officer had compelled her to sign more than 50 blank papers on Friday.
Special Public Prosecutor Akhand Pratap Singh raised objections to the accusations and statements made by the accused. The court duly noted the submissions presented by both sides.
In a major security breach on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack, Sharma and Manoranjan jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during Zero Hour, released yellow gas from canisters, and shouted slogans before being overpowered by the MPs.
