In a significant development, police have made progress in the investigation of the security breach at the Parliament, recovering burnt phone parts in Rajasthan. However, the search for the phone belonging to Lalit Jha, the alleged mastermind behind the breach and the fifth accused, is still ongoing. So far, a total of seven individuals have been arrested in connection with the Parliament breach case.

According to sources, Jha had destroyed mobile phones, including his own and those of his associates, after escaping to Kuchaman in Rajasthan. Despite the recovery of burnt phone parts, investigators have yet to locate Jha's phone, which is considered crucial to the ongoing probe.

It has been revealed that all four suspects had handed over their mobile devices to Jha before the incident, in an attempt to prevent key investigation details from falling into the hands of law enforcement. However, Jha reportedly destroyed a total of five mobile phones before making his way to Delhi, misleading the investigating team.

The search for Jha's missing phone continues as investigators work diligently to unravel the entire network involved in the security breach. In the meantime, important progress has been made in the case, with the arrest of the sixth accused, Mahesh Kumawat. The Patiala House Court has granted seven-day custody of Kumawat, as requested by the Delhi Police, who had sought a 15-day custodial remand for him.

The remaining five accused, including Lalit Jha, are already in police custody. The security breach incident involved two individuals, Sagar Sharma and Manoranjan D, who entered the Lok Sabha chamber from the public gallery during Zero Hour, releasing yellow gas from canisters. However, they were swiftly overpowered by Members of Parliament. Additionally, two protesters, Neelam (42) and Amol (25), were involved in a similar gas canister demonstration outside the Parliament. All four individuals were subsequently sent to seven-day custody by the Delhi Police Special Cell.

As the investigation unfolds, authorities remain committed to unraveling the details surrounding the security breach at the Parliament. The recovery of burnt phone parts has provided crucial evidence, but the search for Lalit Jha's phone remains a top priority for the Delhi Police.
