In a major security lapse on Wednesday inside the Lok Sabha, two intruders jumped from the visitors' gallery with yellow smoke pistols inside the parliament. As soon as the intruders jumped into the Lok Sabha premises, panic erupted and the Members of Parliament started to flee from the spot seeing yellow smoke coming out. However, many MPs and Parliament security personnel came together to nab the man who breached the security. Now, a video is going viral on social media in which the MPs can be seen beating down the intruder.
In the Lok Sabha viral video, the MPs can be seen throwing their punches at the intruder. Not only this, a few MPs were also seen kicking the man who jumped into the Lok Sabha premises. Although the matter is serious, netizens on social media are having a laugh and many of them terming the politicians as 'Aatmanirbhar MPs'.
Who looks after Indian Parliament Security?
As per reports, Delhi Police looks after the security of Parliament from outside. Meaning, Delhi Police is responsible for security cover outside the Parliament. However, the security of the Parliament from the inside does not come under Delhi Police jurisdiction. The report quoted a Delhi Police official who informed that inside the Parliament and at entry/exit gates, security is controlled by the special Parliament Security Services and the CRPF.
A Delhi Police official was quoted saying, "For now, we know the persons managed to get general visitor passes. You have to apply for these passes beforehand and a background check is done. Inside the building there are security checks and scanners. However, the persons managed to carry smoke sticks and then break into the Lok Sabha. At present, they are with the parliament security services. The officials will later hand them over to us and file a complaint."
