The accused, including the alleged ‘mastermind’ Lalit Jha, Neelam, Amol Shinde, and Mahesh Kumawat, along with the two who infiltrated the lower house, have been booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
Delhi Police sources had earlier indicated that the accused might undergo a polygraph or lie-detector test. However, the Legal Remand Counsel clarified that such tests were not presently available in the Delhi court.
Moreover, the Patiala House Court stressed the importance of communication between the counsel and the accused, citing delays in investigations as a reason for additional custody demand by the police.
At present, the counsel has requested a copy of the accused’s plea. The infiltrators, Manoranjan and Sharma, had initiated protests against “unemployment” and the “lack of jobs” on the 22nd anniversary of the Parliament attacks. The accused individuals are awaiting the next hearing scheduled for January 2.
