Tejraj bypassed two layers of security including door frame metal detector
Bengaluru: Two layers of security — a door frame metal detector at the main entrance and security guards posted on the first floor of the building — failed to detect the knife or stop Tejraj Sharma from entering the chamber of Lokayukta P. Vishwanatha Shetty on Wednesday.
It was only on hearing Mr. Shetty’s cries for help that the gunman outside the office realised something was terribly wrong. By then, Tejraj had stabbed Mr. Shetty multiple times with the knife.
According to a The Hindu report, People working at the Lokayukta office in MS Building are not surprised by the security lapses. The door frame metal detector did not beep to alert the guards about an armed man entering the building. “The detector has been dysfunctional for many months now,” say sources.
Sources also confirmed that contrary to procedures laid down earlier, Tejraj was not frisked before he entered the Lokayukta chamber. He entered the office at 12.45 p.m. and wrote his name in the visitor’s register. He then went to meet Mr. Shetty only at 1.50 p.m. He went unchecked for an hour.
