Delhi police on Thursday moved a trial court seeking permission to conduct a polygraph test on all the six accused arrested in connection with the Parliament security breach case.
On December 13, Manoranjan D. and Sagar Sharma had jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitors’ gallery and opened smoke canisters. Outside Parliament, Neelam Azad and Amol Shinde had opened smoke canisters and shouted “stop dictatorship” slogans.
Investigators are yet to record the statement of BJP MP Prathap Simha from Mysore who had authorised the visitor passes for Manoranjan and Sagar.
The police arrested six
accused — Manoranjan, Sagar, Amol, Neelam, Lalit Jha, the alleged “mastermind”, and his associate Mahesh Kumawat — in the case filed under the anti-terror provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. They will be in the police custody till January 5.
Additional sessions judge Hardeep Kaur on Thursday posted the matter for January 2.
