New Delhi: Four persons arrested in connection with the security breach in Parliament have been charged under anti-terror law UAPA besides sections of Indian Penal Code, even as raids are being conducted at several places to nab Lalit Jha, suspected to be the key conspirator, police sources said on Thursday.
Offences punishable under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act are non-bailable. An official said the security agencies have not found connections with any terror group so far. The sources said the role of two more persons has also surfaced during investigation, adding all the accused did everything as part of their foolproof plan.
Vishal Sharma alias Vickey, in whose house the accused stayed in Gurugram before reaching Parliament, is still under detention. The medical examinations of all the four arrested - Sagar Sharma (26), Manoranjan D (34), Amol Shinde (25) and Neelam Devi (37) - were conducted midnight by a team of doctors from Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.
