The two persons who entered the Parliament building have been identified as Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D. At the same time, two other accused, Amol Shinde and Neelam Devi, sprayed coloured gas from cannisters and shouted slogans "tanashahi nahi chalegi" outside the Parliament building.

All four of them are in police custody, along with another accused Vishal, in whose house they were staying. Efforts are underway to nab the sixth suspect, police said.

During probe, Amol said that they carried out this act as they were miffed with issues like the farmers' protest, Manipur crisis and unemployment, PTI reported.

According to police, all six of them knew each other for four years and were in constant touch. They had hatched the plan a few days back and had also conducted a recce of the Parliament premises.
