Lalit Jha, identified as the key conspirator behind the Parliament security breach, allegedly destroyed mobile phones belonging to himself and his associates, including his friend Mahesh, before escaping to Kuchaman in Rajasthan, as revealed by sources within the police.
Reportedly, prior to the incident, Jha and his associates handed over their phones to prevent potential evidence from falling into the hands of law enforcement. Jha later connected with his Facebook acquaintance Mahesh in Kuchaman, a fact disclosed during Jha’s interrogation. However, the accuracy of Jha’s statements is currently under verification by the Delhi Police.
On the day of the incident, Jha, present outside the Parliament, recorded a video of his accomplices intending to publicize it. Subsequently, Jha surrendered to the police and was arrested upon his return.
Delhi’s Patiala House Court granted a seven-day custodial remand for four accused individuals linked to the case, permitting travel to Mumbai, Mysore, and Lucknow for further investigation. The Delhi Police stated that the accused obtained specialized shoes from Lucknow and canisters from Mumbai.
Police emphasized the incident as a meticulously planned conspiracy and an attack on India’s Parliament. The accused were found in possession of a pamphlet labeling Prime Minister Modi as a missing person and promising a Swiss Bank reward to those who located him. The FIR registered includes sections of the Indian Penal Code and relevant sections of the UAPA Act, including those related to terrorism and conspiracy.
