As the investigation into the Parliament security breach case progresses, law enforcement authorities are increasingly relying on technical and electronic evidence. The police are meticulously examining call data records (CDR) of all the accused and suspects, alongside scrutinizing CCTV footage from the vicinity of Vijay Chowk, Parliament, and India Gate.
The CCTV footage is instrumental in cross-referencing the statements of the accused, helping police ascertain the number of individuals present during the incident. Investigators are keen to resolve contradictions and determine whether only the five arrested individuals were involved.
In a noteworthy development, the police are considering Vicky, also known as Vishal, residing in Gurugram, as a potential government witness. Vicky’s residence was reportedly used by the five accused for a two-day stay preceding the incident, making him a crucial witness in the case. Following his release from police detention, Vicky has reportedly maintained distance from the media and others.
Simultaneously, the Special Cell of Delhi Police has detained two more individuals suspected of having associations with the five arrested in the case. Identified as Mahesh and Kailash, both residents of Rajasthan, they are allegedly linked to a social media group named ‘Justice for Azad Bhagat Singh.’
During the Counter Intelligence Unit’s interrogation, it was revealed that Mahesh was intended to be part of the attack team but was halted by his family. Additionally, Mahesh assisted Lalit Jha, the alleged mastermind and fifth accused, in destroying the mobile phones of his associates after reaching Rajasthan’s Kuchaman from Delhi.
The FIR filed under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in connection with the Parliament security breach sheds light on the meticulous planning undertaken by the accused. The document details specific features of the sports shoes used by two of the accused, Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D, pointing out modifications and additional elements added to conceal items. The FIR also highlights the use of wet canisters for creating colored smoke inside the Lok Sabha well area and the recovery of torn pamphlets containing slogans related to national and regional issues.
