Parliament security breach.

Security breach in Parliament: A man scales a wall and attempts to enter a new building but is apprehended by security.
In a new security incident at one of the safest government buildings in India, an unidentified guy used a tree to climb a wall and enter the Parliament building early on Friday morning next to Rail Bhawan.
The breach occurred around 6:30 am, when the intruder jumped over the boundary wall and reached the Garuda Dwar (Garuda Gate) of the newly built Parliament building. Parliament security personnel quickly responded and apprehended the suspect before any further movement could occur. He is currently in custody and being interrogated to determine his identity, motive, and the method by which he evaded multiple layers of security.

After the monsoon session ends, there is a breach.

Officials verified that the intrusion occurred the day after Parliament’s monsoon session ended. According to the Lok Sabha Secretariat, the session, which started on July 21, had 21 sittings but was characterised by numerous interruptions, ending with just 37 hours and 7 minutes of productive legislative work.

Previous security incidents at Parliament

This is not the first such incident in recent years. In a similar case last year, a man in his early 20s managed to breach Parliament security by scaling the wall and entering the Annexe building premises. A video of that incident showed the suspect—dressed in shorts and a T-shirt—being held by armed CISF personnel. No incriminating material was found on him during frisking.

2023 Lok Sabha smoke attack incident

Moreover, in a more dramatic breach in 2023, two men jumped into the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitors’ gallery during a session, released yellow smoke from canisters, and shouted slogans. The intruders, identified as Sagar Sharma (25) from Lucknow and Manoranjan D (35) from Mysore, were subdued by alert Members of Parliament and security staff.

A security review and investigation are in progress.

The security flaws in the Parliament have once again come to light as a result of Friday’s hack. A comprehensive investigation has been started by the authorities, which includes analysing CCTV footage and looking for any breaches in response or surveillance systems. The efficacy of the country’s main legislative institution’s present safety procedures is being questioned in light of multiple security lapses in less than two years.
