UAPA invoked against intruders, accomplices; 4 placed under police remand; 8 security personnel suspended
A day after intruders made a mockery of Parliament's security cover, fugitive Lalit Jha, said to be the mastermind of the whole drama, was arrested.
He surrendered before Kartavya Path Police Station in New Delhi, sources said. He has been handed over to Special Cell of the Delhi Police that is investigating the matter.
Earlier in the day, a case was registered against the two intruders and their accomplices under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. Offences punishable under UAPA are non-bailable. A local court placed them under seven-day police remand.
Heads also began to roll as eight personnel attached with Parliament security were suspended for dereliction of duty.
