NEW DELHI: Delhi’s Patiala House court on Thursday granted Delhi police more 30 days to complete the ongoing investigation in the Parliament security breach case. The case is registered under the stringent section of UAPA (The Unlawful activities (prevention) Act) 1967. The custody has been extended of all the six accused till May 25.
Special Judge Hardeep Kaur has given the special cell of Delhi Police 30 more days to finish their investigation.They had requested an extension, asking for an additional 45 days to complete their work.
During the hearing, accused Manoranjan was allowed to communicate with his mother via video conferencing. Another accused, Neelam Azad, did not object to extending the investigation period.
Earlier, on March 11, the court had already extended the investigation time by 45 days. The court has also extended the Judicial Custody of all accused individuals by another 30 days. They were all present in court physically.
Previously, the court denied bail to Neelam Azad, citing the serious nature of the charges against her and the early stage of the investigation. The FIR (First Information Report) in this case includes charges under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
The investigation is still in its early phases, and the allegations against Azad and others are severe, related to undermining India’s sovereignty and integrity.
During earlier arguments on January 16, Delhi Police presented evidence implicating Azad in the crime, arguing against her release on bail due to the pending investigation.
The accused individuals are described as influential, and their release on bail could hinder the investigation. The seriousness of the offense and the potential punishment are also factors considered in bail decisions.
The case revolves around a breach of security at Parliament on December 13, 2023, which occurred on the anniversary of the 2001 Parliament attack. Currently, all six suspects are in judicial custody.
