Unraveling the Parliament Breach: Police Uncover 'Fully Prepared' Protesters, Allege Deeper Conspiracy

In a significant development concerning the audacious Parliament security breach that rattled the nation, the Delhi Police have unequivocally stated before the court that the individuals involved were not just mere protesters, but rather part of a 'well-planned conspiracy.' According to the police, these accused came to Parliament on that fateful December 13th, 2023, 'fully prepared' for their disruptive act, which included deploying pepper spray and raising some rather unsettling slogans.

It wasn't, you know, just some spur-of-the-moment outburst. The police submission painted a vivid picture of premeditation, highlighting that the accused weren't just shouting generic protest cries. Among the slogans reportedly raised was 'Hidma zindabad'—a phrase deeply associated with Naxalite insurgency, which immediately elevates the incident from a simple security lapse to something far more sinister. And if that wasn't enough, they also carried pamphlets, clearly indicating an agenda that went beyond spontaneous frustration.

The authorities detailed to the court how this wasn't an isolated act, but a meticulously orchestrated plan. It seems the accused, identified as Sagar Sharma, Manoranjan D, Neelam, Amol Shinde, and Lalit Jha, had allegedly been connecting for quite some time, roughly a year and a half, through a 'Bhagat Singh fan page' on social media. It was there, the police claim, that they collectively hatched a plot to commit 'some big act' to compel the government to address their grievances.

The sequence of events presented by the police laid bare the coordinated nature of the breach. Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D were the ones who brazenly jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber, disrupting parliamentary proceedings. Meanwhile, outside the building, Neelam and Amol Shinde were busy shouting slogans and unleashing coloured smoke, drawing further attention to their cause. What's more, Lalit Jha, another key figure, was allegedly busy recording the entire spectacle on his phone, later uploading the footage to social media—a move that certainly suggests a desire for maximum visibility and impact.

While the accused initially cited unemployment and the Manipur issue as their motivations for the protest, the Delhi Police are having none of it. They've dismissed these as 'only superficial motives,' strongly implying that there's a deeper, perhaps more dangerous, ideology at play. The seriousness of the situation is further underscored by the charges slapped against them, which include various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), specifically sections 13, 16, 18, and 20, along with conspiracy charges under IPC Section 120B and other relevant sections.

Following these damning submissions, the court decided to send all five accused individuals into seven days of police custody. It really does make you wonder about the layers of planning and intent involved when such a pivotal institution is targeted. This ongoing investigation aims to peel back those layers and uncover the full extent of what the police are calling a carefully orchestrated act of disruption and terror.
