Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], December 15 : The parents of Lalit Jha, who is the fifth accused in the major security breach of the Lok Sabha, asserted that their son (Lalit) cannot commit this crime, adding that they will approach the court regarding this complaint.
"He is a very good boy. Due to his studies, he also received an award from the Mithilanchal Parishad. He used to teach at a coaching centre. We came to know (about the incident) yesterday after he was arrested," Lalit Mohan Jha's father Devanand Jha said on Friday.
Lalit Jha's mother, Manjula Jha, said that his son is very good. We don't understand how this happened.
"We will approach the court regarding this complaint. Our son is not of this type. You can ask anyone," she said.
Meanwhile, Parliament security breach accused Sagar's mother Rani Sharma asserted that he was follower of Bhagat Singh.
"He read books about patriotism. He was a follower of Bhagat Singh...My daughter told me that he used to write in the diary," she said.
The Patiala House Court here on Friday granted seven-day custody of Lalit Jha, the accused in the Parliament security breach case, to Police.
Lalit Jha was brought to the concerned judge of Patiala House Court. He was also provided legal aide counsel, Advocate Umakant Kataria.
The Delhi Police while seeking 15-day custody of Jha told the court, "He is a mastermind. We need his custody to unearth the whole conspiracy and main motive behind the incident. We need to travel and take him to different cities and places. We need custody to recover the mobile devices also."
However, the court sent him to a seven-day police remand.
The security breach happened on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack. Two people--Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D--jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during Zero Hour, released yellow gas from canisters and shouted anti-establishment slogans before being overpowered by the MPs. Outside it, in another incident, two protestors -- Neelam (42) and Amol (25) -- protested outside the Parliament with similar gas canisters. However, all four were sent to seven-day custody of Delhi Police Special Cell on Thursday.
Last night, senior police officials, including two Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCP) and Additional Commissioners of Police, interrogated Lalit Jha, during which he narrated the whole incident to officials.
According to sources, to unearth more details in the case, the Special Cell of Delhi Police has formed six teams that will go to the locations linked with the accused in Lucknow, Mysore, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Haryana.
