Parliament: Once again, a case of lapse in the security of Parliament House has come to light in Delhi. On Friday afternoon, a 20-year-old youth entered the Parliament House premises by jumping over the wall, who was later arrested. An alleged video related to the incident has also surfaced, in which armed Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel are seen arresting the suspected youth. The youth was wearing shorts and a T-shirt.
According to CISF sources, during the investigation, no objectionable item was found with the youth and he was handed over to Delhi Police. The incident took place on Imtiaz Khan Marg. At around 3 pm, the suspicious youth entered the Parliament House premises by jumping over the wall.
The accused is a resident of Aligarh
According to sources, the accused person has been identified as Manish, a resident of Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh. CISF personnel guarding the Parliament premises informed the police after seeing a person in the premises. A police team reached the spot and took the person to the nearest police station where the officers questioned him.
A senior Delhi Police official said that we are trying to find out how the suspect youth entered the premises by jumping over the wall. CCTV footage is being examined. The person was found to be mentally disturbed as he was not able to tell his name properly. He was also questioned by officials of the central security agency. However, nothing suspicious has been found so far.
Last year, two men jumped into the Lok Sabha from the public gallery
Let us tell you that earlier on December 13 last year, on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack, two people jumped from the public gallery into the Lok Sabha. After the incident, the Delhi Police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were removed from the internal security of the Parliament complex, but the responsibility of ensuring security from outside still lies with the police. The internal security of the complex, including the old and new Parliament buildings and its surrounding structures including the Annexe, is now managed by CISF.
