A 20-year-old man was detained by security forces while attempting to scale the boundary wall of Parliament on Friday morning, ANI reported.
The security breach took place at about 5.50 am, the news agency quoted the Delhi Police as saying.
The man, a resident of Uttar Pradesh, allegedly climbed a tree to jump over the wall before he was stopped by personnel of the Central Industrial Security Force and the Delhi Police, PTI reported.
The police said that the man appeared to be “mentally incoherent” and that further interrogation was underway, ANI reported.
The Monsoon Session of Parliament had concluded on Thursday.
In December 2023, two men jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitors’ gallery and released gas canisters, while outside Parliament, a man and a woman opened smoke canisters and shouted slogans such as “Stop dictatorship”.
The police arrested six individuals in connection with the incident – Manoranjan D, Sagar Sharma, Amol Dhanraj Shinde, Neelam Azad, Lalit Jha, and Mahesh Kumawat. All six are currently in judicial custody.
According to the chargesheet filed by the Delhi Police, the accused intended to discredit Indian democracy, gain instant global fame and eventually usurp power.
The group reportedly met on social media and spent nearly two years planning the act, which they carried out on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack.
