Delhi, December 14: On the 22nd anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack, India’s security was breached once again. This time, four seemingly ordinary individuals managed to infiltrate the hallowed halls, raising troubling questions about security lapses and the motives behind their actions.
Who are these four suspects?
- Sagar Sharma: A 27-year-old from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, who dropped out of school due to financial constraints. He worked as an e-rickshaw driver and was active in political movements.
- Neelam Devi: A 37-year-old woman from Haryana who qualified for teaching exams but couldn’t find a job. She participated in various protests, including the farmers’ agitation and the wrestlers’ protest.
- Amol Shinde: A 24-year-old man from Maharashtra who completed Class 12 and was preparing for army and police recruitment exams. He visited Delhi several times in recent months, raising suspicion of reconnaissance missions.
- Manoranjan D.: A resident of Mysuru, Karnataka, whose background details are still under investigation.
What binds them together?
Despite their diverse backgrounds, several common threads emerge:
- Financial hardship: All four individuals faced financial difficulties, which may have fueled their anger and frustration.
- Political activism: They were all involved in various protests, suggesting a shared dissatisfaction with the current system.
- Inspiration from Bhagat Singh: This iconic freedom fighter appears to be a source of inspiration for these individuals, possibly motivating their actions.
Unanswered questions:
The investigation is still ongoing, with several questions needing answers:
- How did they breach security? Parliament security measures are supposed to be stringent, raising concerns about potential vulnerabilities.
- Why did they choose this specific date? The attack coinciding with the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack suggests a deliberate attempt to make a statement.
- Were they acting alone or part of a larger network? Investigators are looking into potential connections and collaborators.
The incident has undoubtedly shaken the nation’s security apparatus. The investigation into the motives and capabilities of these individuals is crucial to prevent future breaches and ensure the safety of India’s democracy.
