There was a serious security breach in the Bharat Parliament recently. Two individuals managed to enter the Lok Sabha chamber during a session, creating chaos. The Delhi Police Special Cell has now initiated a case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act to investigate the matter.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has taken the incident seriously and ordered an inquiry. The MHA has set up an Enquiry Committee under Anish Dayal Singh, DG, CRPF, with members from various security agencies and experts. This committee will investigate the reasons behind the security breaches, identify lapses, and suggest further actions. The committee aims to submit its report with recommendations, including improvements to Parliament security, at the earliest.
Following a request from the Lok Sabha Secretariat, the MHA’s Spokesperson announced the initiation of a high-level inquiry into the entire incident. The breach occurred on the 22nd anniversary of the Parliament terror attack when two intruders entered the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitor gallery during Zero Hour.
