Mysuru (Karnataka) [India], December 13 : Following a major security breach in Parliament, where two individuals jumped in the Lok Sabha from the visitors' gallery, causing a commotion, the father of one of the intruders, Manoranjan, acknowledged that his son was "wrong" and stated that he should be "hanged" if he had committed any wrongdoing for society.
On the 22nd anniversary of the Parliament terror attack, there was a major security breach when two intruders entered the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitors' gallery during Zero Hour.
"He is wrong. A child should not do this. If my son has done anything good, of course, I support him, but if he has done something wrong, I strongly condemn it. Let him be hanged if he has done something wrong for society," Devraj, father of Manoranjan, said on Wednesday.
There was a huge security breach during Zero Hour in Parliament on Wednesday afternoon after two men, both carrying canisters that emitted yellow smoke, jumped from the visitors' gallery into the Lok Sabha chamber before they were overpowered by the MPs. Similarly, in another incident, two protestors -- Neelam (42) and Amol (25) -- protested outside the Parliament with similar gas canisters. However, all four were detained later.
Delhi Police sources said that initial investigations revealed that all four people and one unidentified fifth person came from outside the national capital and stayed at the residence of a man in Gurugram.
"A manhunt has been launched to nab the remaining two," they added.
Meanwhile, Delhi Police officials said that Neelam and Amol, who were detained from outside Parliament in front of Transport Bhawan, in preliminary investigations, revealed that they were not carrying mobile phones or any other identity proof.
Both have refused to have any connection with any organisation, they said.
Earlier in the day, senior officials of the Intelligence Bureau visited the new Parliament building, where the major security breach happened.
