Parliament security breach case: Delhi HC seeks police reply on bail plea of two accused

The Delhi High Court on Thursday asked Delhi Police to respond to a bail plea of two accused in the December 2023 Parliament security breach case.

During the hearing, the counsel for the accused – Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D – told a Division Bench of Justices Vivek Chaudhary and Shalinder Kaur that the act of opening smoke canisters inside Parliament while sloganeering “did not amount to terrorist act” as the smoke was not obnoxious and the intention of the accused was to only “highlight unemployment and not create terror”.
