The country is still in shock, and so are the families of the accused who passed the entire security system of the parliament complex with two storming the Lok Sabha and the other two shouting slogans outside the building -- all on the 22nd anniversary of the terror attack on Parliament. The maternal uncle of Sagar Sharma, who jumped from the visitor's gallery, has claimed that someone who holds a "big position" has pulled Sharma into all of this.


The incident caught the security agencies by surprise as the initial probe revealed the six accused involved in the matter planned the action thoroughly and reportedly did the recce of the premises as well.


Sharma's uncle, Pradeep, said the accused must have met through social media channels only as Sagar did not have money to travel and nothing like this ever happened before. He termed the entire incident a conspiracy. "He has been pulled into it as per a conspiracy by someone who holds a big position," Pradeep said.






The five accused arrested so far have been identified as Manoranjan D, a resident of Mysuru, Sagar Sharma, a resident of Lucknow, Neelam, a resident of Haryana's Jind, Amol Shinde, a resident of Maharashtra's Latur and Vikram a.k.a Vicky Sharma, a resident of Gurugram and native of Hisar.


Here's What We Know About Accused So Far


Sagar Sharma Used Two Facebook Accounts: Details


Sagar Sharma, who entered Parliament and created a ruckus by smoking a smoke can, was active on Facebook by creating two IDs. He has written on his FB account: "Mera sapna he meri dault hai mai itihas likhunga, aya hun duniya me kuch kar ke marunga (My dream is my wealth, I will write history, I have come into this world, I will die after doing something.)"


As per the latest information, Sharma used to write posts on social media in the name of Sagar Bharat and shared and commented on posts influenced by leftist ideology. He was in contact with many people from Kolkata to Rajasthan and Haryana through Facebook. However, both of his accounts have been inactive for the last several months.


Accused Remained Connected Through 'Bhagat Singh Fan Club' Page


Initial probe reveals that all the six accused were connected through the "Bhagat Singh Fan Club page" on social media sites Facebook and Instagram, police said, quoted IANS. They told the news agency that the investigators suspected that they were being directed by someone both before and during the act.


The youth who jumped into the well of the Lok Sabha was shouting, "Kaala Kanoon Nahi Chalega, Tanasahi nahi chalegi”.


A source told IANS, "Why did they not throw the flare canister and instead kept it in their hands in the Lok Sabha house? They were surely directed to do so by someone."


"The four accused, apprehended both outside and inside the Parliament, had handed over their mobile phones to Lalit Jha, a resident of Bihar. He was also located outside the Parliament and fled with the bag containing the phones when his associates were nabbed. It appears that he too received directions to do so from another person to flee with phones," the source further said, quoted news agency.


As of now, Lalit Jha is absconding and a manhunt has been initiated to nab him. It was also revealed that Manoranjan and Sharma had visitors' passes for 45 minutes but they stayed in the visitors' gallery for nearly two hours. They entered the Lok Sabha Hall from the visitors' gallery.


One of the accused, Manoranjan, is an Engineering student from Karnataka and Sharma, got their visitor's pass issued on the reference of Karnataka's Mysuru BJP MP, Pratap Simha. On the other hand, Neelam and Shinde were protesting with coloured flares outside Parliament and were detained by Delhi Police.

"The couple along with their daughter used to reside in the locality. We noticed arguments taking place between the husband and wife a few times. We had no idea whether Vicky Sharma was working anywhere. "He even used to fight with neighbours. Our RWA also received several complaints against the couple," he said, as quoted by IANS.


As per the report, it is being said the duo had left their house around 8 am on Wednesday.

A source has told news agency PTI that all the six accused wanted to enter Parliament but only two got passes, and added that Lalit made the video of Amol and Neelam releasing smoke from canisters outside the Parliament premises. Police said that the video was uploaded by Lalit on Instagram and he also kept the mobile phones of Neelam, Amol, Sagar and Manoranjan.

Neelam has done MA, B.Ed, M.Ed, CTET, M.Phil and cleared NET," a police source said, quoted PT.


While being taken away by police personnel, Neelam told reporters, "The Indian government is subjecting us to oppression. When we raise our voices for our rights, we are beaten and thrown in jail. We are subjected to undue force. We do not belong to any organisation. We are students and we are unemployed."


"Our parents work as labourers, and farmers and some are small shopkeepers. An attempt is being made to suppress our voices. Dictatorship will not work," she added, quoted PTI.


They Were Upset Over Farmers' Protest, Manipur Crisis


One of the six accused, Amol, is a resident of Maharasthra's Latur and is a graduate but unemployed. PTI reported that he worked as a helper for a plumber but later quit the job. He told police that he bought at least five colour smoke canisters from Maharashtra's Kalyan at a price of around Rs 1,200, an official told PTI.


During interrogation, as per police officials, Amol said they (the accused) were upset with issues like the farmers' protest, Manipur crisis and unemployment and that's why they carried out this act, reported PTI.
