Parliament security breach case: Police move court seeking more time to conclude probe
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police moved a court here on Thursday seeking more time to complete its investigation in the Parliament security breach case, saying certain reports are awaited and the digital data is voluminous.
The city police requested Additional Sessions Judge Hardeep Kaur to grant three more months to it for concluding the investigation in the matter.
The judge issued a notice to jailed accused Neelam Azad, Manoranjan D, Sagar Sharma, Lalit Jha, Amol Shinde and Mahesh Kumawat on the application, seeking their replies by March 11.
In a major security breach on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament terror attack, two persons - Sharma and Manoranjan D - jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during the Zero Hour on December 13 last year, released a yellow gas from canisters and shouted slogans, before being overpowered by the MPs.
Around the same time, two other accused - Shinde and Azad - also sprayed a coloured gas from canisters while shouting "tanashahi nahi chalegi" (dictatorship will not work) outside the Parliament premises.

Manipur: Mortal remains of children killed in bomb attack handed over to family
Imphal (PTI): The mortal remains of two children, who were killed in a bomb attack in Manipur's Bishnupur district in April, were handed over to family members on Saturday, officials said.
The bodies of the five-year-old boy and his six-month-old sister were kept in the morgue for 25 days, as the family members had refused to accept the mortal remains, demanding that the perpetrators be brought to book at the earliest.
On April 25, Chief Minister Y Khemchand Singh had appealed to the family members of the children to accept the bodies. Singh had also said that all efforts were underway to find the culprits.
The two children were killed in a bomb attack at Tronglaobi in Bishnupur district on April 7. Their bodies were kept in the morgue at the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences in Imphal.
The incident had triggered widespread violent protests in the five valley districts of Manipur, and the case was subsequently handed over to the NIA.
Hundreds of people lined up along the way to Tronglaobi to offer floral tributes, as the mortal remains were taken for the last rites in an open vehicle earlier in the day.
