Six individuals, linked through the "Bhagat Singh Fan Club page" on social media, breached Parliament security. Suspicions arose regarding external guidance before and during the event. Questions emerged about their actions, notably why they held onto a flare canister instead of using it as directed.
Four surrendered their phones to Lalit Jha, who fled, implying he too received instructions. One protester shouted anti-establishment slogans upon entering the Lok Sabha.
Those arrested include Manoranjan D from Mysuru, Sagar Sharma from Lucknow, Neelam from Haryana's Jind, Amol Shinde from Maharashtra's Latur, and Vikram (Vicky Sharma) from Gurugram. Lalit Jha remains at large, triggering a manhunt.
