New Delhi/IBNS: The son of a retired police officer in Karnataka has been detained by Delhi Police in connection with the Parliament security breach which occurred a week ago, media reports said.

Saikrishna Jagali, who has been detained, is an engineer by profession and a friend of Manoranjan D, who is one of the two intruders into the Lok Sabha chambers.

Jagali was detained from his home in Bagalkote on Thursday night.

Speaking on his arrest, Jagali's sister Spanda said as quoted by NDTV, "It is true that Delhi Police came. My brother was questioned.

"We have fully cooperated in this inquiry. Saikrishna has done nothing wrong. He and Manoranjan were roommates. Now my brother works from home."

What's the matter?

Triggering panic and chaos in Lok Sabha last Wednesday, two men carrying smoke canisters jumped into the chamber of the Lower House from the visitors' gallery.

The incident coincided with the 22nd anniversary of the terrorist attack on Parliament.

Six people were involved in the planning and execution of a major security breach in Parliament on Wednesday, media reports said.

Actions taken

Six people have been arrested for the security breach that has prompted the Opposition to corner the central government. They were sent to seven-day police custody.

Lalit Jha, the alleged mastermind of the security breach in Parliament, who was on the run, surrendered to the police on Thursday.

According to reports, he had gone to the police station on Kartavya Path (the boulevard renamed 'Path of Duty') and surrendered.

He has been formally arrested and the New Delhi District Police has handed him over to the Special Cell.

The Kolkata-based teacher was arrested from Delhi after being on the run for nearly two days.
