Security breach in Parliament as two persons jump into Lok Sabha from public gallery

The Lok Sabha witnessed shocking scenes on December 13 when two persons jumped into the House from the public gallery, carrying what appeared to be tear gas canisters.

As soon as the duo entered the House during the Zero Hour, one of them was seen leaping over the benches while the other dangled from the public gallery, spraying some kind of tear gas substance. This led to chaos and confusion inside the House.

Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said the two persons were carrying tear gas canisters. He described it as a “serious breach of security” on the 21st anniversary of the Parliament attack.

Sources said one of the persons was named Sagar Sharma, and that the pass was reportedly sponsored by BJP MP from Mysore Pratap Simha. Some eye-witnesses said there were two more protesters who remained in the gallery.
