New Delhi: In a major security scare at the Delhi Assembly, a masked man rammed through the high-security boundary gates of the complex on Monday and also managed to flee without being challenged, thereby exposing the ill-preparedness of security arrangements.
However, within hours of the search operation, the Delhi Police tracked down the accused and took him into custody from North Delhi. The car he used to enter the Assembly premises by breaking through Gate No 2 has also been seized.
Two other persons allegedly involved in the security breach have reportedly been arrested.
The car owner has been identified, and the police are grilling him and questioning him about the motive behind the frightening episode.
The masked man, driving his car with a UP registration number, rammed through the security barricades at Gate No 2 at around 2 PM today and then managed to escape.
He also put a flower bouquet near the porch areas, inside the complex. Some reports said that the driver of the car parked there also threw black ink at the Delhi Speaker’s car.
The Tata Sierra car, with number plate UP-26 AZ 8090, broke through the security gate at the VIP entrance, manned by CRPF personnel round the clock.
