Updated : Aug 04 2024 | 7:12 AM IST The Patiala House Court on Saturday took cognisance of the charge sheet filed by Delhi Police against
six accused in the Parliament Security Breach case. Six persons, namely Manoranjan D, Sagar Sharma, Amol Dhanraj Shinde, Neelam Ranolia,
Lalit Jha, and Mahesh Kumawat, are accused in the Parliament Security Breach case. The Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) took cognisance of
the charge sheet filed by Delhi police. The Delhi police have supplied soft copies of the charge sheet to the accused persons. The court
has directed the Delhi police to supply hard copies of the charge sheet to the accused persons within a week. The court listed the matter
on September 9. Earlier on June 7, Delhi Police filed approximately 1000 pages of a chargesheet against all six arrested accused. Delhi
police have filed the requisite sanction for prosecution under UAPA. The Special Cell of Delhi Police had also filed its supplementary
chargesheet in the Parliament security breach case in Delhi's Patiala House Court on July 15 after obtaining sanction to prosecute all the
accused under the stringent section of UAPA. Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) Advocate Akhand Pratap Singh informed the Additional Sessions
Judge, Dr
Hardeep Kaur, that the investigation agency has obtained the sanctions for prosecution under Section 13 of the UAPA from the concerned
Saxena, accorded a prosecution sanction against six persons under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), for allegedly attacking
the Parliament, on December 13, 2023, while the House proceedings were on. Delhi Police had requested their prosecution under u/s 16 and
18 of UAPA from the competent authority, i.e., the Lt
Governor, who, having found sufficient material on record, granted prosecution sanction. While Delhi Police had requested necessary
prosecution sanction under UAPA, the Review Committee (DoP, Tis Hazari, Delhi), on May 30, 2024, had also gone through the entire evidence
collected by the investigating agency and found the involvement of the accused in Parliament attack case
Accordingly, the review committee noted that prima facie a case was made out against the accused under UAPA. The Delhi Police had
registered a case/FIR, u/s - 186/353/452/153/34/120B of IPC and 13/16/18 UA (P) Act, at the Parliament Street Police Station on the
complaint made by the Security officer in the Lok Sabha. The investigation of the case was later transferred from the Parliament Street
Police Station to the Counter Intelligence Unit of the PS Special Cell, New Delhi
During the investigation, the six accused persons were arrested and at present all of them are in judicial custody. This case pertains to
a security breach at parliament on the anniversary of the Parliament attack case on December 13, 2023.(Only the headline and picture of this
